After a day of barely anything: mulching
around, dinner at friends; today is pre-Christmas baking day. Soph’s on Christmas mince pies and I’m making
a cherry pie and maybe some focaccia bread.
I’m dieing to make a panettone but that will depend on time and energy. Perhaps I’ll do it after Christmas.
Our food on Christmas day has been loosely
planned. Breakfast will be a mighty
affair with cinnamon buns, bacon and eggs, coffee, cider, eggnog. Some of the easy to assemble items for later
in the day are the antipasto, brie smothered in croissant pastry. We’ve got asparagus to wrap and cauliflower
with a cheese sauce. A potato and ham
bake. Pork tenderloin is our meat of
choice, it came in a delicious marinade.
We will wash it all down with the pie and spiked apple crisp shooters.
Don’t forget the Christmas fruit cake – this
family traditionally starts eating that on Boxing day.
I hope I survive all the eating!
