Hurrah!

Kedgeree before and after

@vothgirl, I will email you my recipe, lots of cream and butter but very child friendly.
Don’t bother eating it, just stick it straight on your bum, that it where it will end up 😉

I only make it on special occasions.

Sweet potatoes, excellent!

@motherof5 the kedgeree looks interesting! I’ve never heard of it before, one of the things I love about this thread. And yes, yams = sweet potatoes (they may be different plants but for all intents and purposes are interchangeable in recipes). I would imagine the sweetness of the yams plays nicely against the sharp salty Gruyere :-).

Yum Ladies, I will try those.
What are yams? Like Potatoes?

I make Kedgeree for breakfast https://www.google.com.au/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Kedgeree&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=jdadVJCzHqqg8wefzIGQBA , I prep it the night before and cook it, then I just have to re-heat it in the oven in the morning. This years had 3 kg of smoked haddock…[Read more]

Oh! that looks incredible! I totally cheated and bought the stollen and the christmas cake, not to mention a tonne of fruit mince pies! We were given shortbread on Christmas Eve – but you have to keep food under lock and key around here to even get a look in.

Christmas morning breakfast was just the usual – porridge’ but we all had to eat before…[Read more]

Janice, I LOVE my girl’s wearing other people’s sewing hand-me-downs. If no one closer claims it, I would love it and I will pay postage/combine with a fabric order from your shop.
Tildy loves Julia, she would be so excited to have it.

Trixie has so many hand sewn and knitted items from all her sewing Aunties. It is very very special.

@cybele727 oh man, you had me at Gruyere! That sounds amazing.

I made poteca (pronounced po-TEE-tsah) for our Christmas breakfast – it’s what my dad’s family had for Christmas breakfast every year as he grew up and it was passed on. My husband was more than happy to continue such a delicious tradition. Basically, it’s a filled & rolled sweet pastry. The recipe is very similar to this one:…[Read more]

Hard to believe this year’s at its last call

The tomato jam sounds amazing! I am not a huge fan of raw tomato but will eat it cooked.

No links to be had because I kept things very very simple this year.
Smoked ham with a potato salad (spuds, boiled eggs (homegrown of course) and mayo which was a bit sloppy) and a very simple stock standard salad I usually make to appease the cheese lover in…[Read more]

Lining all stitched down but have hit a rock with the buttons – I have a total of one! Oh well, will add it to the list for Spotight and make a trip on Monday. Maybe I can stitch them on during my hospital stay.

Two angel sets to do and then we have to tidy up and knock off for a wee while!

I am almost out of time to sew
Pj’s for Christmas, doncha know?
A pair of bedtime
Would be completely sublime
So off to the stash I will go.

Merry Christmas to one and to all! (first line)

Christmas day over and I won’t have to cook for another two days at least!
I made some super yummy salads this year, all from Pinterest.

This one was a huge hit http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143879798228/ the mixture of sweet strawberries with sharp spinach was amazing.
This was tasty too http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143879794549/ a new…[Read more]
