Worm's World

I suspect I've just woken up from the geekiest dream ever. I was 'watching' a film where Transformers, Aliens (and ergo Predators) all existed within the Star Wars universe. The plot revolved around an Jedi Autobot on a solo mission to stop the Empire releasing a genetically modified Xenomorph on Earth. I can't be alone in thinking this sounds amazing can I? Think of the possibilities? although I'm sleepy so I'm  struggling  past  Predators  with lightsabers... Posting it on Facebook led to this conversation: And maybe something will come from this sad little tweet because my own attempts are rubbish! but it works....

It's from a packet - one I picked up in a Spanish supermarket and translated using Google translate ... and it worked...... (This is my favourite desert of all time, ever, I could eat a whole one - no probs....)

Author: Alison Denny Date: 1973 (this edition 1977) Published: Book Club Associates I don't really remember acquiring this book, it's got no price scribbled into the corner in pencil a-la-charity shop, it doesn't have a cover and there's a slight possibility it came home from a pub with me, maybe. I don't know - it's not an official branded Kenwood book or anything, like #78 , but it does have photos and illustrated guides of my chef and the attachments (all the lively attachments) I own a blender too - so maybe it will come in useful ... maybe....

What are you guys doing for Christmas? We're going to some friends of mine in Stafford, which means we don't actually have to do much, we've made some Christmas puddings, well, Pete has made some - using the ever reliable Good Housekeeping and the slow cooker to great effect, and bar picking up a bottle of wine or two then we don't need to think about everything else for the main event. Well, Pete has to make his favourite veggie substitute - a cheese and lentil  loaf - but that's it. I've planned Christmas morning, panettone and fizz for a change. We'll have to remember not to recreate the year we spent on our own and consumed so much alcohol we fell asleep of the sofa by 8pm. Although that was fun... So, for a festival the has so much to do with food we're at a little bit of a loss as to what to plan and eat. We're good for veg, since our Christmas delivery arrived yesterday, and we'll be skipping around pubs tonight, so no chance to recreate l...

Yep - still can't decorate a cake! Merry Christmas everyone!! - we haven't sent many Christmas cards ( although we did a charity donation to St Luke's Hospice ) this year being as we're in Stafford for the festivities -. We'll be skipping around some pubs later on tonight ( once Pete has finished work, and we've had some food, providing he can still face being around people - bless him, he came home yesterday and couldn't face socialising after a very busy day at work - he was in bed by 10pm!) S o we should see most of you to wish you Merry Christmas in person. If we don't see you, we hope you have a very lovely, relaxing and fun time - that if you've travelled anywhere you got there safely and it wasn't too horrible and that you have a great day, with lovely food, exciting presents and no one gets in the way of you watching the Dr. Who Christmas Special.
