I cooked my shortbread, made some Chloe’s Caramel Fudge from Cookidoo (for DD to take to work as gifts), and some crackers that are like Olina’s ones. One batch were from RTE. https://www.recipetineats.com/homemade-gourmet-crackers-with-cranberries/

Chookie I brought the Grandmothers ham , as this one has the lest ingredients in it ( also no msg as I’m allergic) , did you try that one it’s normally moist . Yesterday I chopped golden raisins added the other dried fruit added the brandy to soak . This is for ice cream plum pudding that I make each year ! Double batch . Hopefully I’ll make two small ones so DD can have it later . Went to bake pistachio and cranberry shortbread, double batch and no raw sugar! I was so organised.. had visions of preparing it then cook it the next day . Oh well .

Roast chicken, mashed pots, mixed veggies, ( including snow peas from garden), Xmas Pud with Brandy custard and ice cream. Friend coming for lunch.

I did a taste test of Xmas hams from Wilson’s. I bought 2 slice of 3 different hams. The one I preferred was Fabbris easy carve leg ham. It was moist, smoky and not too salty. I intended to buy slices but was able to buy a small 1/2 leg .
When I bought the slices to try, the shop assistant was carving the ham the wrong way. I suggested he carve it on the side. Which he did and was surprised at how much easier it was. He was also using the wrong knife. Couldn’t do anything about that.

Mab, I’m not surprised that Cookie mentioned your jam tart. When you post your meals/ cooking, I often think we used to have that and I’d like to come for dinner.
Just fruit for dinner.

Happy Birthday Katie. It’s so nice to be with family.
Yesterday I had lunch with 2 friends from the Gym. The service was terrible but the food good. We talked for over 2 hours. Both are going through tough times .
Today, another good friend for lunch.

Met up with some friends at the local Vietnamese for dinner last night - our third meal there in two weeks (delicious food - more than the four of us could eat for $25 per head - fantastic food and fantastic value)
