Co-operative Festive Friends Unknown Shape

I got a pack of mini festive shortbread from the Co-op.  We still not sure what shape it was.

Peppery Yorkshire Fishcakes

The chip shop at Hebden Bridge looks traditional.  I got a fish butty and a fish cake.  The fish was okay, but the fishcake is a Yorkshire style, it was unnecessarily peppery.

Montezuma Chocolate Snowmen with a Truffle Centre

I had some Montezuma before, I was not the most impressed but since they are 'expensive' and on end of season sale, I got some snowperson.  I got the 100% black and milk chocolate version.  The 100% is quite hard core, I hope I am getting the flavonoid!

Chestnut Ratings continue...

I got a bag of out of date chestnut as Christmas present.  They were from ASDA, and unlike other chestnuts I already had, these were from Turkey.  These were also quite bad, they are joint bottom with Tesco's chestnuts.

Boxing Day Shopping

Some boxing day shopping started on Christmas Eve evening!  I browsed on Next's website on Christmas Eve, and I placed an order with Next and another with Holland and Barrett by Christmas evening.

We actually went into town for the boxing day sale.  Leicester was very busy in town, and we got a few bargains, potentially those bargains can be had online.  My legs were so tired, but I remind myself this supports the high street!

Turkey Crown

This year we had turkey for Christmas dinner.  The turkey crown turned out very nicely.  Unlike a whole turkey, when the thickest thigh meats take a long time and causing the breast to dry out, the turkey crown is uniform and suitable ventilated to be evenly heated.  I shall add that to my repertoire.

Mother's Ruin

I am armed with alcohol this Christmas, but I didn't know I needed to break into them early.  As soon as children start showing attitudes, and when you are prohibited to give them correctional education, alcohol isn't a bad idea.

I heard gin been called mother's helper, but apparently it is meant to be Mother's Ruin.  When I was younger, drinking is for socialising with friends, now I am drinking for a reason!
