@Makingabobor2 I am pretty sure I would eat a choc orange pudding and stollen way before Xmas if I bought them now
I have made some mincemeat though
We are going on holiday with DD2 and family on Monday, so looking forward to that. Nowhere exotic, just a rented cottage a couple of counties away, but it will make a nice change. So, tomorrow will be cooking, shopping and packing
Anyway, back to today:Dog walk first thingAnother HG pear for breakfast fruitPostal survey stuff doneBlitzed some rather boring veg soup I made yesterday. It wasn't too bad with a swirl of creme fraiche and a few croutons.Made naan bread pizzas to use up some jarred peppers in oil that needed using up in the fridge. Also included HM tomato sauce, leftover bits of chorizo and grated cheese. These got eaten for lunch.Wrangled 2 different grandchildren at 2 different times for various reasons
Washed my hair and left it to dry naturallyGot the bags and rucksacks out of the loft and started making lists - I hate packing!0
