My working day has been completed and finished with a chuckle for sure

 

[postman]

A nice steady afternoon.I nodded off along with Mrs P just woke at 17-15 time for tea.Mrs P out again tonight a bit of a party do a small group.I might watch a film.If i can stay awake,oh it's lovely being warm cosy and sleepy.That's three of the dwarfs.

Had a fabulous luncheon of a sandwich with poached chicken, mayonnaise and home made cranberry sauce, plus an apple, a tangerine and the obligatory two

Then off with Max the MTB to drop off a batch of Christmas cards. First time on the bike since I came down with Covid, and bloody 'eck, that was hard work! Now I'm not exactly unfit thanks to walking and doing firewood, but my bike fitness has gone seriously *fzzzzt*

Also did the dough for a bread to go with a friend's Xmas pressie of cheese & homemade chutney. I'm meeting up with her tomorrow morning for a nice walk with the dogs and to exchange gifts.

Not cooking tonight, going to clear up the random items from the fridge. I did take some sausages out of the freezer however - I was watching some random Xmas cookery stuff on the i-player the other night, and saw a nice sausage, onion and cranberry thing done by Nigel Slater. I think that will make a nice filling for the rolls I picked up on YS the other day, and I'll be making leek & potato soup as well. I want to get to Christmas Eve with no leftovers in the fridge.

Sat down with a and watching the news.

Just finished baking last batch of @Reynard Honiglebkuchen , a big thank you it's a hit for sure. Boy it's moreish polished off about 1/2 the 1st tray. They are fab and will now be added to my working recipe collection book.

In my defence it's the 1st time baking them. Plus I think in the factory they just wrote the temp on the oven for a laugh. It's way off on this new oven. Sholund also say the tray is small another pain of this oven. My best trays no longer fit.

Ah, I'm glad they're going down very nicely.

Have other lebkuchen recipes you can try if you're ever of a mind.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Pity, as I'd a really "good" answer.

That's what I was afraid of.

Cool yes if they are as good as this always looking for new bakes to try.

I've had...ooh, maybe 6 hours sleep in the last 36 hours.
2am this morning I stood at the open back door, contemplating whether to lay out on the garden sofa under the canopy. I was too hot, while i was trying to cool off, ithe cold touch of breeze on my face convinced me it probably wasn't a good idea.

 

[rockyroller]

What do you think of my new hat?

it makes you look like an owl

not that there's anything wrong w/ that

 

[rockyroller]

Just put Mrs 73's presents under the tree. I'm still waiting on one to be delivered and i've one to make.
Leaving the stocking ones till tomorrow when Mrs 73 is off as we always do them together.

I'll see what I can do :-) How good is your German?

 

[Reynard]

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

 

[tyred]

walking is relaxing, cycling is exciting

??

Neither are particularly relaxing or exciting in the dark in the current climatic conditions but I want to get back into the habit of regular exercise.

Mines as good as Apple Translate , Mrs 73 knows the basics and bit more though she has a friend who is fluent.
