No-one here for Christmas day, but not to be deterred I'm cooking up a storm.
Cake as a sugary snack all day:
Plain white flour, baking soda, large quantity cinnamon, allspice, double usual quantity of white sugar, very finely chopped apples, egg. Placed in loaf tin. In oven now.
EDIT: Also ground dried chilli and sea salt. Since I'm teh only bastard who has to eat them I thought I'd try this out.
Later will have roast shoulder of lamb rubbed with chipotle chilli and dried mango (very very finely chopped). Served with roast squash, roast potatos.
Big fruity red wines for later today. After I've rung the scattered outposts of clan Walsingham. Or during, now I think of it. Ghastly bunch.
How about you chaps?
