The photos capture Maisy dressed for Christmas. Glen bought the outfit on a whim for £5.00 and I didn't epect her to like it at all but she doesn't seem at all bothered by it and it looks like it could be keeping her cosy, as well as festive.
Lots of rain yesterday but colder and dry today which gave me the perfect conditions to get a 4.5 mile run done before setting out on my Sunday dinner cooking, the nut roast having been cooked yesterday. Turned out pretty well and credit to the avantgardevegan on You Tube who had videos for both the roast and the vegan gravy. I do like the food he prepares and have found them all, the ones I have tried, to be tasty and not too fiddly.
Lots of ingredients in the nut roast, mixed nuts, lentils, chestnuts, carrot, leek, cranberries, apricots, onion, celery, which made it a lovely moist dish with plenty of herbs to help it along and ground flax for egg replacement. We had lots of roast potatoes, spinach from the allotment, brocolli and turnip, also grown by ourselves. Alison had done an apple crumble as well which made for a very satisfying dinner.
It was nice to go to the park afterwards for a little exercise, Evie and Amelia enjoying our pirate game, whilst Maria rested after dance exam practice.
It was all a bit of a dry run for Christmas dinner and a pretty good indication of what we need to do to feed our expected dozen party.
