eat now. eat quick
Jun. 8th, 2005 08:19 amContinuing on the subject of cake the kind Mrs. Jenner (ha, in less than four months I will be a Mrs. Jenner but I think I will be the young Mrs. Jenner or maybe the American Mrs. Jenner *laughs for awhile at that one*) gave me a mighty fine recipe for Christmas cake. I asked and I received.
For the non-English people in the crowd this is an incredibly sweet and rich fruit cake they like to eat at Christmas. Now when most people think of fruit cake (self included) they make a face and quickly say, "ohnothankyouplease". Which is understandable. Most fruit cake tastes bad and it isn't well made.
I have had fruit cake made my Mrs. Jenner and also by her Mother. Both are incredibly good and of course incredibly rich so you only have a small slice. I suggest it with tea, coffee, any form of alcohol. (little old ladies like theirs with a bit of sherry I have noticed) You often have this late in the afternoon or evening when you have been drinking all day long and eating all day long and your vision has gone a bit blurry. It also tastes good sober. Really.
( Here is the recipe, be warned there are some pictures that may take time to load if you don't have high-speed internet access. )
Today I have a day off and I will take some letters to the post office and I shall make chicken pie.
I hope my irritations are few.
I had a rather good crepe yesterday. Just plain old ham and cheese but oh how tasty and oh how quick the man makes them. I am mad keen about this place near my work. I need to take someone else there so they can too have crepes, orangina and gelato. That my friend is simple happiness.
