Made scones from some of the buttermilk, and doing pancakes with some for breakfast.

And an elite Christmas tradition, nit sure who started it but I buy all reduced cream now. I made nearly 6 lb butter this is my share after dd took some.

Was this very time consuming and can it be frozen?

it only leaves a couple of days to tidy up the drinks cupboard

Also the Maltsmiths were quite short dated - not sure what I've got left but Errant son will very gradually work his way through them and the drunken pig ciders

We have 2 significant birthdays in January so I am not sure if I can make it all the way through the month without any alchol at all but like the walking targets its worth a try.
Last year I also went crisp- less and managed about 6 weeks - possibly a good time to redo this challenge as there are no crisps in the house - and I am fed up of all crisps apart from Morrisons salted so no temptation unless I am in Morrisons

Hi AJ, I opted for the blackforest gin

Of course you can, there is turkey, gammon and peas in a white sauce. Turkey, carrots and peas in gravy and the the favourite which is a bit odd, sausage meat and apple stuffing, with small diced turkey and gammon pieces mixed in. The kids call them Christmas pies and love them, boys tell me of if I cook them when girls visit. :rotfl:
