Hoping to make Jamie Oliver's "get ahead gravy", stuffins and Tenina's cranberry sauce so I can have a day off tomorrow let's see what happens!

I'm making that this year too. Did it last Christmas  and its yummy.

Thanks Kimmy, I've been watching his Christmas show but I'm surprised he doesn't seem to have a Christmas cookbook.

Great cooking there astarra, nice to be in front at this stage already.

Early this morning I thought I would make more yoghurt. I always use the UHT milk , the starter from previous batch and 100gm milk powder.
Well  it was half way through the cooking time of 12 mins and I had a call from DH. He had fallen off his bike on his way to work.  He was injured and in shock. Couldn't even remember what day it was. Anyway I switched the Thermomix off and headed out the door still with 5 minutes left to cook.
To cut a long story short, I left DH at emergency, he was waiting for X-rays and cat scan. Went home for a shower etc. I decided to cook yoghurt for remaining time, then poured it into  warm thermo server. To my amazement when I Looked at it tonight, it was perfectly set!
It had been sitting in machine for well over an hour this morning. So I would say it is a very forgiving recipe.
DH is safe at home nursing 2 broken ribs and lots of grazes.

That's not good Katj, poor DH will have a quiet Christmas this year.  Good news about the yoghurt though.

I hope D H is ok Katj.

[Bedlam]

Poor DH Katj, give him lots of TLC and yoghurt ..lol.

[Cornish Cream]

I hope your DH is recovering Katj.
Good news that your yoghurt worked after the interruption.

take care KatJ, hope your DH rests up too.

[Wonder]

Katj, hope your DH is on the road to recovery and it doesn't adversely affect your Christmas plans too much.

I've had an early start to get mini fruit cakes on before work and then there is just some Swedish crispbread to make tonight and then that's the end of gift cooking for me. DD planned to make a hamper for her boyfriends family but although she's full of ideas she struggles on the implementation. She will end up with a lovely KK gift for work and a big hamper for boyfriends family all thanks to my late nights and early mornings
