Morning all. Very behind. Taking advantage of my Dad having gone back to bed after his breakfast (no idea why came down to find evidence of breaky having been consumed and his bedroom door re-closed)!
@ziggy_w spent most of Friday morning baking. Worth it - clafoutis appreciated by my Dad and his wife and looking forward to my crackers with the cheese tomorrow.
@maglil55 hope your legs are feeling (auto correct just suggested feuding) better and hugs for your Christmas without loved ones.
@Emma_369 know exactly what you mean about treats being so delicious that they all get eaten at once. And enjoy your US trip. Where are you headed? I’m addicted to New York and have just booked a 13 night stay for the summer......
@Brunneria hope Mr B recovers in time for tomorrow. Am also up on the veg count as I’m doing all the food prep at my Dad’s.
@shelley262 a long walk sounds amazing. Poured down all day yesterday so must get out today as feeling very inactive.
@zauberflote hope your mum is OK.
Now on to the food. Eating way too much.
Saturday was lunch of roast chicken with cauliflower cheese followed by raspberry clafoutis and extra thick double cream. Dinner was leftover chicken, smoked salmon - the stuff from Ikea is totally delicious as well as cheap - far too many salted mixed nuts and a piece of the Hotel Chocolat nutty Yule log with extra thick double cream. Sampled the Hotel Chocolat 80% supermilk luxe hazelnuts too.
Yesterday was peckish in the morning so ate more mixed salted nuts and luxe hazelnuts in lieu of breakfast. Lunch was pan fried sea bass fillets with lemon butter sauce, broccoli and pointed spring cabbage. Followed by a ‘tasting’ dessert of a small piece of clafoutis, small piece of nutty Yule log and of course some extra thick double cream. Dinner was an array of cold meats, rocket salad with avocado and a couple of cherry tomatoes with mayonnaise and a corner of nutty Yule log. During the day hoovered up some more nuts and some Lindt 90% left from my last visit.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas - off to Brum tomorrow to my Dad’s wife’s mother’s house where internet (and heating) doesn’t seem to exist!
