PT Freaks: Getcha Getcha Getcha Freak On! (Page 5)

These are all the ingredients mixed up in a bowl. Bear in mind this is a 10L laundry container! (to give you an idea of the size of these puddings LOL!)

ETA: TOPPAGE! Yay! 5 pages!

This is the first pudding sitting in its flour covered calico bag, ready to be tied up and boiled. The size of the calico is about 40 inches square. The remaining half of the pudding mixture is sitting next to the bag for comparison

And here is one of the puddings, all tied up and boiling away. I took the lid off the saucepan to photograph.

I now have to keep them boiling for 4 hours, then store them, then boil them again for an hour on Christmas Day. They will be served with brandy custard and vanilla icecream. YUM!

I will make the Christmas cake tomorrow. I'll try to remember to take some photos

When I was at the shops today buying the final ingredients for my recipe, I noticed I local sports shop had bathers reduced from $60 to $20!!! Wow! I am actually in need of some new bathers as my old ones are getting a bit stretched. So I bought a pair. Voila!

Last night was Sef's Christmas work function. We got home about 1am. Hence no exercise this morning!

I finally sold my old car today!

Sef has gone fishing tonight. I am thinking I prolly should go for a run. I really don't want to, I am really not an evening exerciser. But because I haven't done anything ... I prolly should go. Sigh.

OK! I did my run. Thats a load off my back. I've now accumulated the maximum 22 points allowed for this challenge. Tomorrow I am planning a long bike ride of about 60k. I may just do 40k if I wake up feeling trashed.

Goodnight!

Yesterday's point was earned by marching in a parade for 2ish miles.  It was a good time, but Estes Park, CO is very cold.  That and  marching behind the police escort sucks since he had his light on.  I thought I was going to have a seizure after the blue and reds flashing in my eyes for that whole distance.

Or freak from remembering that horrible experience with you, the triplets, a gag ball, a feather duster, and a party you had at your parents' house and the neighbors called the cops.

Happy Birfday, young'n (tomorrow)!

Finally!  Good for you.

Yes, Black Friday in the U.S. is the day after Thanksgiving and is the BIGGEST sales day of the year for Christmas shopping and saving some cash (supposedly).

Since I don't know anything about that "pudding" you made, I'm quite skeptical of it.

Good luck to all of you in your new challenge month.

One more workout for today to get the final point.

Hey freaks, it's my final night in Amsterdam. I managed to get in 6 points, which wasn't easy between all the beer, cheese and whiskey, but I'm dedicated Hubs and I got a bit of food poisoning as well. I was able to fight through it but it really hit him hard. Luckily we're back on track to enjoy our final night. Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend!

You know I can't survive with the quiet folks! I'll just crash the chatty thread, I have no shame

You can come chat with me in Team 1 anytime you want!!!

Freaky bump from Amsterdam, looks like a quiet night!

I got my final point in today.  I very brisk 34 degree F one hour bike ride!  Brrrrrr!!!!  My widdle piggies froze a little.

Okay, Freaks, we'll all have to say goodbye to each other soon.

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that my focus has changed and family time and work really hit hard this month and will continue that way for a few months.  I REALLY wanted to chat more.

Some of you I'll catch off and on, but for the rest of you, take care, stay healthy, have fun, and enjoy what is all given to you!

Merry early Christmas, Freaks!

Wow, so young! Happy birthday

Nice getting to know you Phil! Merry Christmas!

And have you seriously never heard of a Christmas pudding??? Hopefully mine will look this good
