Neglected…

Poor neglected blog!
It is so mad at me, I even had to retype the URL into the search bar…
Just  a tad busy at this time of year.
Sorted scraps ready for GWSMQG Sewalong Sunday – December  9
Sorted scraps
Scrappy Circle of Geese is Emma’s block for Sew & Bee Happy – it will get finished now that I’ve made the Christmas presents I needed to finish.

Luckily the recipe will make a 23cm cake and a boiled pudding and about 50 fruit mince pies. Rather than a cooked pudding, I'm going to make  an ice cream pudding…a nice treat for a hot summers Christmas Day.

This is just before it went into the oven, and I can tick off ”Cake cooked and ready to let the flavour develop” – December 18

  2. Wow, that is a lot of work.
    Our Christmas dessert is Rocky Road icecream.
    Grab glace cherries, chocolate, marshmallows and nuts. Melt the icecream so you can stir it - or put it in your mixmaster. Add the extra bits - chop the marshmallows if they are full size - then refreeze.
    Really yummy, and it works well as a birthday cake too.
