17
I can’t think of anything witty to tie in with the number 17, oh well, I shall be boring instead : )
Today was Williams last day before Christmas, Edward has two more, at least it is that way round, the moods from William would have been unbearable if it hadn’t!
This morning I made some mince pies,
As you can see, perfectly yummy! If you do want the recipe, the one for making the mincemeat is here, and the idiot proof guide to making the pies is here!
And here we are at the last giveaway/freebie before Christmas!!!
So if you are in the UK please leave a comment if you would love to win a lovely felt corsage : )
I will close this offer at midnight tomorrow night! Good luck!!

Ooo yum, I do love mince pies. I normally get given a jar or two of mincemeat from my dad’s wife, but I really think I should give it a try myself. Having baked snowmen and reindeers today the adult sweetness of a mince pie is really calling me right now. Yummy

Well they look delish! I tried to make some last week and they just turned into a sticky horrid mess!

mmm.. mince pies and mulled wine. Nothing better on a dark evening – or in the daytime for that matter!
17th December 2008 @ 7:05 pm
They look delicious! Would you like to send some over here please?

My jeans are getting awfully tight already ( and we still have 2 weeks of festivities to get through!) which I suspect is mince pie related… just love them!

One day I WILL win a blog give away! I’ll happily settle for a scrummy mince pie though:)

Warm mince pies and brandy cream…yum!
Only problem is, one leads to another and another….!!!
