Installing Indoor Cat Tree

Did anyone else catch Nigellas Christmas show last night?

I thought it was really fab,& am baking the aromatic spiced ham for Christmas eve supper,with leftovers for boxing day

 

She is the same as me - I prefer the cold cuts & pickles to the main event too

 

Inspired by her beautiful kitchen I have just gone & bought loads of white LED battery operated fairy lights to scatter around.....I thought it looked gorgeous on the show

And inspired by her lovely curves,I also got a new close fitting red top

[buffie]

Missed it.

 

I didn't like the ad for it, thought it was a bit bad taste Proably me just being sensitive

Echo that... poor turkey.... Made me want a live one to add to the beeps!

[Cinnamon]

Tell me,tell me...............

What happened to the turkey?

[geb0205]

It was the advert for the show... white turkey walks up the garden path, pecks at the front door twice. door opens and turkey walks in, door promptly then shuts. Next thing you see is roasted turkey on the table....

[buffie]

What's worse it it had a little card in it's beak. made me feel sad.

[geb0205]

maybe we should complain about cruelty to POV on the BBC....

[Mrs Frugal]

It made me feel sad too, Buffs. Such a cute little turkey too.

[Cinnamon]

Oh,I see

 

Well, it was a good show anyhow - I really enjoyed it (although I am glad I missed the ad!)

[Lesley]

I watched it - she was in the news at the weekend saying she didn't like being treated like a blow-up kitchen doll (or something like that!) so why does she act like one?

 

We had 4 white turkeys

[Laura007]

i watched it aswell and thought it was good.

 

i like the idea of a chocolate fruit cake and might give it a try, even though my own is maturing nicely!

 

the ham look really tasty and easy to do, so i might give that a go aswell.

 

shame about the trailer, but considering bbc2 likes scaremongering in the horizon show about avian flu...................

[cabbagepatch]

I saw some of it, am sure she is a delightful cook but why oh why do we have to be subjected to all those sultry sidelong gazes into the camera?

[Cinnamon]

I actually don't mind her on screen persona - she is very beautiful & I think quite entertaining to watch.

I tend to feel that its all a bit tongue in cheek too

 

Also,its one of the few cookery shows The Hubby will watch

[Mel (& Paul)]

Same here Cant imagine why he is suddenly into cooking

I bet it was all filmed in June though!! - and how jammy is she going off to the alps or somewhere just to read out some recipes - I could do that!

[Egluntyne]

Is there a book??

 

I haven't spotted it in the shops?

 

Had a look on line and same result a couple of days ago.

 

Love the look of the cake. I thought the way it was decorated was beautiful.

 

Can't stand icing or marzipan.....too sweet.....so why do we always put it on the bloomin'cake.

 

Am also tempted to make it, even though we've already got one festering away in a dark cupboard....or should that be "maturing?

[Cinnamon]

Not sure about a book, but the recipes are serialised in The Mails Saturday Weekend magazine

[Cinnamon]

Update on the above.Looking at the recipes I have from The Mail,some recipes are from older books - for example the Choc Christmas Cake is from "Feast - Food that Celebrates Life" which she bought out in 2004.

 

If anyone want any of the recipes scanned & emailed,send me an email & I will see what I can do.....

[Egluntyne]

Thanks for that!

 

Am off to my blue paper recycling bin to fish it out.

 

Didn't have time to look at the supplements last week.

Pity you live in Sheffield Egluntine - I hate fruit cake and only eat the marzipan and icing

[Egluntyne]

[Mel (& Paul)]

I like it all

 

 

 

 

 

(which is probably why my eglu bum is the size it is )

[Popcorn]

I hate fruit cake and only eat the marzipan and icing

 

Ugh - Marzipan...pah pah pah!!

 

We'd be ok sharing a fruit cake then Lesley. I love the fruity inny bit.

[AnnieP]

I have her feast book and am following her plan fro Christmas day and boxing day. I hope it works!
