Like I said Geoff- have forgotten how to work my camera, which needs charging up anyway. Plus get it onto here..... Shall smile sweetly at OH when he arrives back, so maybe.........
Well 22 mincepies are cooling on the racks! None split either! What I dont understand is the recipe says makes 3dozen...noway. The most I've ever managed from it is about 26! Depends on which fat combination & flour combination I use. This yrs was 50/50 butter/Trex & white SR/brown (wholemeal) plain. Always use the same spoon for the the water too.
Oh I wish pastry & me werent such a trial, bigsigh. The mincemeat was fine- had to sample a bit of course....
Tomato risotto cooking. Had to psyche myself up to actually cook something tonight but better than 'picking' at all sorts instead. J.
Well, I actually bought a Callander today for next year! Haven't bought one for years as I normally get one free as a Co-op member, but they haven't sent any this year!! Maybe the world really is ending, and they didn't want to waste money printing them!!
