Woo hoo!!!

Mmmm eating a nice warm buttered fruit scone ...

OK morning consults have finished and I now have 4 1/2 hours to kill. ZZZZZ.

I might go check out Nibbs.

Its interesting in there right now... you might enjoy it!

Thats long enough for a goooood workout, recovery, stretch, food....

Very true! Sadly there are no showers at work. And I've already done my workout for the day. Now, that other thing, food! I think I'll have plenty of time for that

hmmm 4 hours worth of food huh? Very interesting....

I am planning to make a christmas cake and pudding this year. I have never made either. I have two old recipes to follow, I need to decipher pounds to kgs and ounces to grams!

I hope to get both done this weekend. As well as painting our bedroom ... !

I dont think Ive ever made either... I Was never really into either so I havent bothered...

Actually I remember making puddings with my Grandma when I wa in primary school - it was a BIG project and then they would hang in the garage to age or something...

If anyone wants one this chrissie they can make it!!!

Yeah it sounds like a lot of work!!! The pudding has to be made 4-5 weeks ahead of time and stored to age. The cake isn't so important to age apparently. We'll see what gets done this weekend! I might take some photos if I remember

Good lord I have just calculated I need over 1kg of raisins alone!!! *goes pale*

And the same in sultanas. At least everyone will be "regular" once they have Christmas lunch at my place LOL!

Good Luck! I have bought one actually in the past that was REALLY good... wish I could remember what it was I think it was from something like 'The Pudding LAdy' and it saved me the job...

Last year I did SO much from scratch.. this year Im trying to workout what the essentails are and what I can take shortcuts with... Ive already found a fair few shortcuts I can take

haha thats going to be a fun trip to the supermarket too!

That sounds like a great idea. Apparently the "Lions" Christmas Cake that you can buy from National Australia Bank is really good. I guess I just want to make everything from scratch because I have never done it before and I want to do it properly. Next year I'll definitely be taking some shortcuts LOL!

I think I'll be getting my turkey from Lennards. A client told me this morning that they are prepared marinated and stuffed, you just have to chuck them in the oven.

Well, maybe not chuck. Place gently???

900 g of PRUNES!!!!

Yes! *groans*

I think I am going to develop a new found respect for my mum & grandma after this Christmas

I am just going for a short drive to drop off some dog food to my aunty, BRB!

Yeah I as big on the 'from scratch' last year but after an entire days spent baking alone and then cooking a lot of christmas day I learnt!

If you do things you can do in advance that will make a HUGE difference though... my problem was a lot of the stuff had to be fresh so I was my own worst enemy!!!

Im doing Roast Pork on chrissie day and getting a Frozen turkey roll for the night before to have with salads and bread... easy!

BOTTOMPAGE!

Oopps ... *blush*

And I dont even LIKE prunes!!!
