  1. Well I always fancied two of those crepe pans to keep up with the demand when people are eating them, as they are just a bit slow to keep up with the hungry hordes :o . I've got one and bought all my family large crepe makers one Christmas. Every time I go to France someone asks me to bring one back, but the trouble is I can't always find them. I use mine to make scotch pancakes as well- it works a treat! Yum!

  2. Yum yum

     

    I'd have pink kali, red kali, orange kali, yellow kali, sherbet dip, saucers, black jacks, liquorice sticks and pink bubble gum, cherry lips, sherbet lemons, pear drops, Pontefract cakes, spangles and bon bons. I can dream :o

  3. Goodness me poor you.

    Well perhaps next year we could have a forum virtual party. We could plan the drinks and food, as well as a selection of music, and gyrate around to it without any criticism of our 'moves'. We can have exciting chats in chat and best of all no worries about driving home!

  4. im coming to you jacqui xD:(:(:(

     

    Looking forward to seeing you Hali :o At least this year we will be eating inside the house. Last year we erected a 'tent' in the garden to fit everyone in, and borrowed lots of heaters to keep us all warm! Luckily it wasn't frosty, but this year could be different, however we are eating inside, having solved the sleeping problem for the oldies who can't climb the stairs. Last year they used the dining room as a bedroom. This year it's the study and the fitter chaps are sleeping in a room in the pub next door! Still fancy coming? Nice pub!

  5. Well 'call me old fashioned'! We have the traditional Xmas meal and we all love turkey with all the bits and pieces. Who said it is dry? I never find it so. I cook it ' a la Delia', but I got there first or should I say my Mum did? It is moist and delicious. It does need lots of butter under the skin. I make a pudding using Guinness and Rum and Calvados. I make it in October and steam for 8 hours. To reheat it takes 2 hours. We flame it with rum. My Xmas cake has been fed with rum or brandy for the last 5 weeks, and when my grandchildren come on Tuesday we will be icing it and putting snowmen and trees on the top. I make my own mincemeat (really easy) and tomorrow I'm making and freezing mince pies, ready to take out and bake. I bought the Magnum of Champagne in the summer when I was in France. My Mum's family made Champagne so we can't do without it at Xmas. I cook the ham a couple of days before when we eat some hot, then use the rest for butties etc. over Xmas. Boxing day we have a re-run padding out the turkey with the ham. We have a cheese Fondue Xmas Eve. It sounds really decadent written down but with 12 people for three days it works out OK cost wise.

    My ex-sister in law is a vegetarian and I used to make her a cashew nut roast from Sarah Greenes book. It was delicious.

    Mind you Mrs. Weasley is having oysters to whet her appetite. Wonderful! What could be better?

  6. I have no idea how to change my avaitor - wish I could have a Christmas one!

    Firstly find an avatar you wish to use. Save it onto your computer somewhere .

    Click on My Controls at the top left hand corner of this page. When your page comes up scroll down the list on the left until you get to Edit Avatar Settings. Click on that. Firstly delete your old avatar, there is a button at the bottom to do that. (I keep my old one saved in a gif folder on my desktop, so that I can put it back and not loose it all together.) Then upload the avatar of your choice. Then click on update avatar button at the bottom and it should appear. If it doesn't try clicking on your computer's Refresh button to update you screen.

     

    Best of luck.

  7. I've moved this into Role-Play but don't forget that where ever you post if it is new it comes up on the Home page, as well as when people click on view new posts, so please don't worry.

    What about a forest scene and a house? This could then be the Three Bears House or the Grandma's house in Little Red-Riding Hood, or even one of the Three Little Pigs' houses. We have had some snow and frost but it isn't winter yet so If the children become interested in snow in January your forest could be a snowy one, so you could do Percy the Park keeper or The Snowman. There are lots of rhymes that fit these themes as well. Think of Each Peach Pear Plum and how that could fit in with winter. You could ask the children for their ideas as well.
