| If I was Delia Smith this is what my fruit terrine would look like |
The ham is cooked and ready for supper. I simmered it in the slow cooker for three hours and then finished it off with a honey and mustard glaze and a quick roast in the oven. This morning I made a prosecco and fruit jelly, we shall have this as a dessert tomorrow as the girls are not keen on Christmas pudding.
Sarah is dozing on the sofa and Kat has taken Rick out for a jog. It’s been a lovely day here, cold but lots of sunshine.
The hospital rang this morning to offer me a date for my operation – New Year’s Eve! It put me in a bit of a spin. I didn’t want to turn it down but it would totally ruin my planned celebrations, Kat’s birthday is on the 30th and Sarah returns to Australia on the 4th. I need not have worried, they gave me another date of the 11th January so all is well. It will be good to get it over with.
That jelly looks divine. Wish I was near enough to cadge a helping! Happy Christmas to you all and good luck for the op.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Pat and thank you.
DeleteThe fruit jelly looks gorgeous! Thank goodness the hospital could change the date - now put it to the back of your mind and enjoy your family Christmas. Sheila x
ReplyDeleteI was doing well at forgetting about it until we got the 'phone call. I'm back into party mode now though. Happy Christmas x
DeleteSo glad they could give you another date. Now you can enjoy New Years Eve too.
ReplyDeleteI need to treasure every moment with my girls, we don't manage to get all together very often.
DeleteNeed a photo of yours though! 😁
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'll take one tomorrow.
DeleteHappy Christmas to you and your family Sue.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Yael x
DeleteOh, yes, choose the other date. All will be well, Sue. The dessert is beautiful! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenn.
DeleteIsn't it wonderful having everyone home!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful but time is whizzing by.
DeleteI am pleased they were able to offer you a different date for your operation Sue.
ReplyDeleteIt threw me a bit, but an easy decision in the end.
DeleteUnseasonably warm here yesterday, and looks set for the same today. I can never understand people who don't like Christmas Pud', but the fruit terrine does look delicious. Happy Christmas to you all. Cro x
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure my terrine will look so good when/if I get it out of the mould. Happy Christmas Cro x
DeleteHa, I thought Wow! when I saw the pic but then read the fine-print. I don't think I've ever made anything that Looks like the Picture. Good news about the 11th - over and done with quickly.
ReplyDeleteWell mine didn't look exactly like the picture but it was a big success with the girls.
DeleteMerry Christmas to all your family Sue. Glad you could choose another date.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Helsie.
