Welcome KitchenDiva. That is a problem most of us have. Equal time on the forum and in the kitchen, no time for mundane things like ironing or housework. But we all eat well. Where are you from?

We had a roast last night but I've got tandoori chicken tonight.

2 eggs plus one yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
500g plain flour
2 x 7g sachets yeast

200ml milk
200g soft butter
140g mixed dried fruits
100g mixed peel
milk for brushing
flaked almonds for top

Method
Turn oven to 190⁰
Warm the milk to 37⁰. Mine took 2½ minutes at speed 1.
Add eggs and vanilla. 37⁰ speed 3 for 30 seconds.
Add flour, yeast, sugar and salt.  for 2 minutes.
Leave to rise in the bowl for about 45 minutes until doubled.
Add soft butter, fruit to bowl. The bowl will be very high so you may need to push the dough down.  Knead for 3 minutes. During this time you made need to use the spatula to keep it moving along.
Put large muffin wraps into muffins tins and put the dough in. Cover and leave to rise for about 45 minutes.
Gently brush with milk and sprinkle flaked almonds over.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. (mine only took 20)

These need to be eaten within 3 days or can be placed in the freezer for 6 weeks.
This recipe has been changed from  one on the BBC Good Food site.

Typical Aussie Christmas day............worse luck.

We're rather off tv too. In fact for the last 12 months or so we watch what we want then it goes off. DD and I read and DH snores.

Hi former West Aussie. You will love all the things your machine can do for you. It was kind of your DH to give it to you a teeny bit early.

How cute. I guess it can get you into trouble sometimes though.
