Does anyone know what the Auld Hoose is doing on Xmas day? (Or Xmas Eve or Boxing day.)
Don't even know who/what it is, I'm afraid.
Do you like Stollen? Or some other kind of Xmas cake/pie/pudding?
I love Stollen, or indeed anything with marzipan. I like traditional fruit cakes if they have soft rather than hard icing, and mince pies in small quantities (preferably warmed, with cream), and traditional Xmas pudding. I used to make my own versions of most of these, but nowadays I usually buy them - the ready-made ones are much cheaper, and the quality is good enough that I don't think I can necessarily do better.
What about chestnuts?
Nice if someone else roasts them. When I tried, they came out too hard and dry, despite following the instructions to the letter.
Where in Edinburgh can I get cheap holly and mistletoe? (Please note that I am not prepared to climb over any fences)
*grin* Hope you find some.
What is everyone up to on Hogmanay?
I'll be sitting quietly and contentedly in front of the telly with a good supply of whisky, nibbles and fruit cake, I think.
