Still baking! I've heard that some friends are coming to visit on Saturday. There are 5 children (ages from4 to 14) amongst them and 5 adults. I asked Neil to get a couple of pizza bases with the shopping, but that was another item gone missing with the shortage of supplies so I am making my own bases today, to get ahead, and will finish them on Saturday afternoon. The children are all very fond of pizza (usually shop made, so whether mine will fit the bill, who knows?) On Friday I will make a rice dish and a split pea or lentil dish for the adults - that's if Neil can get split peas or lentils on Thursday. Failing all else, there will be a pot of chicken and vegetable soup anyway. I have mince pies and mini Christmas puddings as well as some bread pudding - none of which will suit the younger kids so will have to make some cupcakes as well. Maybe Thursday or Friday for those. Looks like being a fairly busy week.
Won't they make an allowance for injury?Thank you @Annb. The poor lad is in a football academy. He will miss all this season and then will have to fight for a place again next year.
