Yesterday I baked mince pies for our Christmas 🎄 meeting on Saturday.
I had the mince meat since last year when our son came for Christmas. It has been travelling from England to Dubai and back to France ! ( not a carbon free mince meat!) 😂
I made my pastry from my old English baking book ( from the 80’s) I used half butter and half lard and it is the British touch ! On the net they use butter only but lard makes the difference!
I did my Christmas decoration with traditional colours, but I added a pink ones on the console for a little touch of fairytale and childhood!
Last month I should have been to Dubai but i decided to go in January end of January.
( i didn’t tell you but I am not feeling too well for some months. I’m I having terrible headaches and troubles with my eyes and I have been waiting long to get better…
I don’t know if you remember but long ago when I was a baby I have been the victim of a car crash and had brain, eyes damages and cervical vertebra and since my spine cord surgery
I have a lot of headaches and eyes problems, so December for me will be unfortunately a busy month going to appointments. First the ophthalmologist, then ultrasound sound and MIR the day after Christmas. Anyway, I will be going to visit my son in January and see my grandsons with assistance like I did last time. I have been wanting to see if it was going to be better but now husband doctor’s orders I must do all these annoying things! 16,22, 26 of December.) it is usually very long to get appointments so December is not too long I have no choice but to go.
It’s not great fun!
I tasted the mince pies and they have a very good taste, I love mince pies at Christmas !
On another subject. We have a program on tv which is called “ the cleaners” these people are helping to clean and tidy very, very dirty homes. On last Sunday as it was raining I watched an episode of it. I am telling you this because I can hear my husband cleaning the bathroom right now. Each time I watch an episode he is shocked and is cleaning and tiding everything! On Sunday he tidied until late at night! It is very helpful! 😂 ( I must tell you our home is clean and tidy! But he wants it to be perfect!
So he bought their book and clean 🧽! And we finally are both involved in the process…) 🧹 🧼
Today, I will bake Christmas cookies for our Saturday event. On the picture below there are Italian goodies Panettone we use to have one for breakfast on Christmas Day so good with a strong coffee!☕️
