COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh wow, I never received it! The last one I have from you was Feb.
I guess it didn't go thru.

Goodness!!!!
No wonder you thought I thought you'd left.
But you're not getting my posts for some reason.

Nice to speak to you.

Well that's sorted. I'm getting a Ford Focus. (1.5 Titanium EcoBoost in Deep Impact Blue before John asks!) Much better at hills and motorways than my Fiesta

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Anyone have a good tip to release stress?

Hi, Austin.
Do what i do.
Spend lots of time in the Cold Dark Room.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hi! I have been so busy these days!
I miss you guys!!

Good busy, I hope.
Not bad busy.
Or both ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Any kind of physical exercise- doesn't have to be extreme - is helpful for me.

Jellyfish tennis.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

wibbling in here

SNAP!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

0600, day off... hmm

So what have you been doing today ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning CDR.

This is my Christmas Pudding making weekend. I'll mix them this afternoon and spend tomorrow cooking them.

But first, I need to clean my car as we're considering trading it in.

Then we're going to test drive replacement cars - I have 1.2l Fiesta and I need something more suitable for motorways and long journeys that I can use to get to Mum's. I'm trying a Focus and a Golf

Jellyfish Golf !
Good afternoon, Linda.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Goodness!!! Busy day! Sounds fun, though.
We don't have Christmas pudding over here- it's a steamed sort of thing, right?

Good morning, Bea!
Christmad pud! Yum! Yum!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Shiny new apparently. I've been a good girl and held onto my Fiesta for many years without moaning.

So... Christmas Puddings stage 1

Take Delia

And ingredients (the bread gets turned into crumbs)

Mix together the dry stuff

Recruit extra people for stirring unless you've got very strong arms. Add the wet stuff and stir for ages until it looks like this.

Cover with a cloth and leave to stand overnight.
Set alarm clock for earlyish start - there's a long day cooking ahead.

Just under a half pint of stout, the same of barley wine, 4 tablespoons of rum and 4 eggs are the only liquid.

It's why is tastes so good. Although some people say they don't like Christmas Pud.

The whole lot has to stand so the fruit can absorb the liquid.

PS I only use the zest of the lemon and orange. The orange fruit was eaten and the lemon sliced and frozen for adding to G&T when needed

The recipe

 

[Kristoff]

Just popping in to wish everyone a good evening.

Took daughter to ballet practice for the first time this afternoon only to find a closed door. No notice.

Elsa decided to lead the life of a mole (the animal kind). Took me a lot of digging to find her. Thankfully I know her favorite spots.
