Ha ! this blog really should be called Mrs Gower's failed attempts of varied proportions .... spun sugar baubles! It sounded like such a simple and exquisite plan, what it actually was; a sticky and somewhat blobby mess, that rather than curled delicately in to a bauble snapped in rigid pieces. Failed!
The last few days have of course, and quite predictably, been rather Christmas orientated and one of my favourite things to do is wrap my Christmas presents while watching as many Christmas cookery programmes as I possibly can, so you've got all your turkey tips and interesting accompaniments, alternative Christmas puddings and such, but what I appreciate is when someone tells you (the cook) that here's something for you, so in order to keep your strength up on Christmas eve, Jamie suggests griddle pan waffles and epic hot chocolate have a look at it here. So lucky Mr Gower will of course get to partake in waffles and hot chocolate too!
Now what's on the Christmas menu this year? At my house it'll be me and my side of the family (Mr Gower's to arrive after Boxing day) so I'll be doing roast pork loin with crispy, salty crackling, and apricot stuffing and mustard sauce, there will also be sprouts cooked with pancetta and chestnuts, my perfected (finally) Yorkshire puddings, pasnips, pigs in blankets and my mum's roast potatoes, and for dessert; plum crumble with homemade vanilla custard, Superb!
