Try not to let it happen again.


I've been here tapping my foot since 5:30 in anticipation and confusion.


Glad you cleared that up, sleepy head.

I rarely put sugar in whipped cream, and when I do, it is just the barest pinch. cream itself has a sweet taste, and I feel it should be the texture/flavor that is a complement, not to overwhelm

I use cream to make chocolate a lot--it really doesn't need much sugar added. When I do add sugar, it's about a tsp, maybe two per pint--depends on the dish, of course. Cream really doesn't need much...

Curse you counting person!

Now I am overcome with guilt at not having completed my holiday shopping and shall have to procrastinate on doing the afore said shopping due to having taken to drink.

You lucky, lucky people. Germany has Xmas on the 24th !!!!! which means someone just pinched a shopping day from me. Not to mention the curing time for my chutney & figs in vodka (standard present, so doesn't count as present anymore )

I"m sure the lucky recipients do count it as a present, and would be desolate without it........

I wish it were so - but after 15 odd years of making that stuff, it is expected. I tried making chocolates one year instead of the chutney. Instead of "How nice they are yummy" I got "And where is the chutney?"

So no, chutney & figs in vodka are no longer considered presents but obligation in my family

Just think of it as a tradition rather than an obligation.

So blisters are just part of the tradition?

Sounds painful. I think I'd pass that particular traidition on to someone else in the family circle. Let another carry that torch for awhile.

Nah, then you'd miss out on the kudos.

Nevermind.

shopping days before Christmas. Have you got your gifts wrapped? Tree up? Outdoor decorations plugged in?
Menu planned?
