Today I made Steak and Kidney pie. It is cold outside, and horrible weather, so I thought I should opt for a nice, warming, Traditional English meal. Pastry isn't my forte, but I was largely pleased with how it turned out (although my Mum's is better!). We have a Belgian lodger, so I am trying to show him that there is a lot of Good Food to be had in England....! My 20 month old however, was in a contrary mood and wanted Marmite Toast. You win some, you lose some.I also made some fudge this evening. I'm planning to do parcels of fudge for some of my relatives that I see less frequently, and so have no idea of what to do for them for Christmas. It's only right that one should test the recipe out beforehand, and this was a nice chance to test-run my new sugar thermometer too.
It tastes SO good. Al and I had to test some out with our post dinner tea/coffee....
On the craft front- For yesterday/today's Craft Fair contributions I have made some knitting needle cases. These always seem to be exorbitantly priced for something which is so simple, so I looked at the one I have (which was passed on to me by my Granny-in-law) and roughly copied the design. I'm pleased with the results, and am just putting some finishing touches on a second one.
