Christmas "Big Shop" on food

[stonerblue]

I might have spent more'n that on me mince pies. I baked 'em myself. No pastry, no sugar, so everything is a pay-through-the-nose ingredient. The one upside is that the apples in the mince were free.

no pastry or sugar ???
Isn't that just a jar of mincemeat then?

The pastry is made from medjool dates and ground almonds. They are just delicious. It's like eating fruit wrapped up in marzipan. Very Didsbury-like!

Thought we'd done but Mrs Moon needs some more stuff for the Dundee cake she's baking, butter and cherries.....I'm hoping to not even pick up a basket and be out with just those 2 things, 30 mins to find out.......

Got away with a £6.88 shop.

Thank fuck for that ;)

If turkey, sprouts, mince pies etc are so good, why don't we eat them all year round?

Going to my sisters, not going to have to drag myself around the shops and it won't cost me a penny :-) result
