Being moved out of our normal home due to the election didnโt stop the Christmas Party, nor some sneaky extra voting! ๐๐ ๐ผ We had homemade non alcoholic mulled โwineโ using Caroline's not-so-secret-now recipe, a festive food tasting session - how different our palates are, a glorious buffet and a mega Christmas raffle. Here are the results of the Festive Taste Test for further perusal, especially if you couldn't make last night's party. It's clear that award winning doesn't necessarily meet WI approval, we all love a bargain, and a mince pie has to look like one! Happy Christmas and food shopping everyone! ๐ ๐
Here's Caroline's mulled 'wine' recipe. Substitute with wine if you want to! The secret is to bung everything in a pan and warm it up.
Elsewhere this month it was all about gathering together with friends. The Book and Supper Clubs combined to have a curry and secret book Santa at the Taj Mahal and the Crafty Crew met a Diane's for drinks, nibbles and a show and tell of new makes. Look out for another gathering later this month when we meet for a post Christmas 'unstuffed' walk the weekend after Christmas. In other news we also collected 30 bras for Against Breast Cancer's recycling scheme.
