It's half term here and everything is not so rosy. So far it's been a whirl of shopping and entertaining small children - and I ache all over now!! Early night for me tonight! I did go to my weight training class this morning and at 8:00am was down at the market buying the fresh fruit and veg, but beyond buying the lemons, oranges and apples for the Christmas puddings and cake I haven't got a lot further with the festive preparations. Traditionally October half term has always been the pudding and cake manufacturing week (allowing a couple of months for alcoholic maturation) and I still have four more days of it to go. The millionaire's shortbread I made at the weekend is going down very well though!!
Threw together two meals of dubious origin this week: fish pie made with the leftovers from sunday smooshed into a puff pastry ring and a creamy risotto made with the leftover houmous - very damn good actually!! Feeling stuffed to the gills now and with the lads out for their monthly lads curry night I might just collapse into a corner and start eating my way through the Hallowe'en treats - well, if it rains on Saturday night no one's gonna want them anyway!!!
