Soup from leg bones - I have 3 batches in the freezer from the carcase and the leftover veggies
Scotch Eggs from sausages and a couple of boiled eggs lurking in the fridge
Chicken and Mushroom Pie - awaiting baking for dinner - thats all the bird gone - thank goodness, we only had a 14lb bird for 6 of us; what do you do with it if you have a bigger one?
There is half a jar of chocolate crunchie, loads of mini Stollen, packets of spiced biscuits and goodness knows what else in the cupboard.
The Panforte is untouched. The fruit salad became a smoothie for my breakfast. The gammon is sitting happily in its tupperware in the fridge, at least that will keep for a bit. There is a full tub of double cream, a pack of smoked salmon. My waistband is feeling uncomfortable, though to be honest I don't feel that I've eaten that much, I think its the sitting round and eating pastry and bread, something I don't normally do. We did get a walk yesterday and when Peter gets back from his platelet donation I guess we will get out again.
On the knitting front - another round completed on the Ten Stitch. Yesterday I felt the need to knit something else, something quick, so I thumbed through my Simply Knitting #88 and came across the Super Snuggly Cowl. Quick raid on the stash found some suitable aran weight yarn and hey presto. Very simple 4 row pattern which is reversible. I can see a few of these getting churned out for presents as I have loads of aran weight yarn. A good afternoon/evening spent - keeps the hands busy and stops you eating
That dinner pie looks yummy. I just saw the cowl over on rav. Love it.
