Absolutely awful man and his vacuum cleaners are dogshit.

Isn't it! Happy Christmas, Muriel and Suzanne, and thank you for many hours of happy listening.

A box of Fortnum & Mason marrons glacés.

Look what was in my Christmas stocking...It's almost like they know me...

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:

A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

It's enchanting. Happy Christmas. X

How delicious.

Mmmmmmm

Happy Christmas, friend! What not both?😘

It makes it really easy not to buy them. Quality Street is the same. I realise now I was only buying them for the spangly papers.

It's a sorry, business, Suzanne. I did just have a mince pie though, so not all is lost.

I'm IN the UK, I meant.

I'm nine the UK, sending my condolences to the house sitter!

🤣

Madly disappointing.

An arm and a leg, but so good. www.fortnumandmason.com/marrons-glac...

A bit grim and unfestive.

What a swizz.

Oh yes!

So good!

How divine

Correct answer.

Or pruneaux d'Agen.

I know this means I may never be allowed back into the UK, but Quality Street lost its appeal when they replaced their pretty, spangly wrappers with the dull, slightly Soviet ones (I know,I know, for entirely reasonable planet-saving reasons). So it has to be Marrons glacés.

nina b O 2 days ago ***&& I substituted the eggs for duck eggs and milk with geese fat and it came out terrible!! Please write in the recipe when reasonable substitutions cannot be made. +-2- → Reply Admin Stacy Popham © 5 hours ago | @ Reply to nina b Let me break this down for you.Duck eggs instead of chicken eggs? That's actually fine. Duck eggs work in eggnog. That's not your problem. Goose fat instead of milk? Goose fat is a solid cooking fat for roasting potatoes. Milk is a liquid dairy product. They are not interchangeable You essentially made hot melted goose fat with duck eggs. Of course it was terrible. Bottom line: If you fundamentally change the structure of a recipe by using completely different ingredients with entirely different properties, you're not making eggnog. You're conducting a failed science experiment. Make it again with actual dairy and report back.

incredible stuff over at r/ididnthaveeggs

It’s a eggnog recipe

A house illuminated with Christmas lights.

Yes!

Essential for gathering lavender in the fields

Absolutely got a hankering for one of these, for summer.
