the show goes on

I may well be so tired that yesterday I used nail polish remover instead of make-up remover; and today I thought it was Tuesday, (I'm so glad it's not).  Rest assured good readers that all kitchen activity is up to par.

So this is what I do whilst the littlest small sleeps. I make PAN DE HIGOS, chockers full of dried figs, whole blanched almonds, French cocoa, dark chocolate & cinnamon.


 And dainty little Christmas cakes, (yet to be done up with all the trimmings). A beautiful recipe adapted from my Nan's recipe with lots of soaked dried fruit & spiked with rum!



And the reason I do this whilst the small sleeps? Because this is what happens if I don't!


These Christmassy treats are good, sooo good. Especially with coffee. Speaking of which, it's time I had one!

  1. Beautiful. Am so glad my ratlets are now at school but so miss them too. Wish we lived south of the border. Your Xmas treats look amazing.
