Festive Stuff

 


Youngest grandchild is 17, oldest 24
I still hang up their 'stockings' They're my grandchildren so of course they're good kids all year round. Right???
 Santa fills their stockings with Chocolates and goodies every Xmas Eve
 


Christmas assembly line
Most of the cakes K bakes are given away . That's the Christmas tradition here
First on the list are the recently bereaved.  It's not done for them to make sweets the first year of mourning



English mince tarts
Most of these are given away too
But I ate quite a few so
I have to make some more
 tomorrow. 
I don't like the Pastry although I've dived into YouTube looking for the best recipe.  Judy in England has given me her traditional recipe. 
I'll let you know how it goes
The filling is homemade by me.  I've eaten a few spoonfuls of that too.
It's very moreish*. 

 
*I looked up that word. It's one my mother used.  The meaning? 
You just want more and more
....... Obviously

  3. I have never been able to eat mince pies, Christmas cake or Christmas pudding. I just can't eat dried fruits ( sultanas raisins etc...).
    Now chocolate though... well...
