Slaving over a hot oven December 24, 2005
It’s Christmas Eve and I’m baking. I’ve done muffins (packet ones, but who cares), almond bread (it’s half done, I still need to slice it up and toast it), a banana cake and there’s a carrot cake in the oven now.
It would be tempting to assume that I’ve gone into some last minute preparatory frenzy for Christmas Day, but you’d be wrong. This is all stuff to take to Bean’s. I figured, with all the people who may (or may not) be there, food to munch on while chatting, playing music, playing Scrabble or watching DVDs might be in demand. Once the carrot cake is done and cooled the whole lot will be going into the freezer to ensure it’s nice and fresh for the trip on Tuesday.
I’m feeling quite inspired so I might even do some more once my back & feet stop hurting from standing in the kitchen and I’ve cleaned up the mess.
I was going to do shortbread tonight but we’re going to dress the tree and I’ll do it tomorrow morning. Some of it will be crocodile shaped.
Cool, thank you.
