Hello & Merry Xmas everybody!
Deck the halls & fling the figgy pudding (I really don't think I'd like figgy puddy except as part of the festive decorations) ... I've got one prezzie I've waited this long to open, so waiting another sleep won't be too difficult. I'm not exactly sure what half of it is. One half I strongly suspect is a box of my favourite chocolates, while on top, it feels like six large bread rolls, which are too firm to be bread rolls, unless they are six weeks old ... it's wrapped up so well, there's no chance of me peeking without tearing the paper, so I've been trying to imagine what it could possibly be.
I made some jelly with the tin of cherries is juice I had; made it a bit too sloppy, but I am sure that will still be nice with ice cream.
This year, I've wanted lots of ice cream, rich vanilla &/or chocolate.
I experimented with serving my vanilla ice cream in a cone, with the occasional small dollop of the blueberry jam (one of GPs at the local surgery makes), smeared - j ust a few such dollops between each layer of ice cream until reaching a little ways higher thn the top of the cone, of-course. You don't want to stop adding ice cream before it's higher than the cone. Don't add too much jam, because it's very sweet, so not much is needed.
This combo worked out very well.
If I'd had strawberry jam or cherry jam, I'd have tried those too.
Now I've got my sloppy jelly with cherries to add to my cone, tomorrow. 😹
I have decided to make a toasted cheese+ham+cheese+tomato+cheese sandwich. Yeah, three layers of cheese, so be careful how much. Mmmm, pesto on the bread, too? I think so.
After cooking one side, to turn over to cook the sandwich, place a small plate upside down on it & hold while lifting with a spatula & turning the lot then sliding the sandwich off the plate back into the frypan. Oh, sorry, I didn't tell you, you need a frypan (I use one the stove).
I think that will actually do me....
Merry Xmas!
