got some ingredients to make all my english stuff! and holiday movies

[Guest guest]

Went to Ames yesterday afternoon for a meeting and was in a grocery

co-op. They had the Quorn Roast on sale for $3.79. Luckily they only

had two, cause I would have gone overboard (they normally are $6.99).

Also, the Gimmer Lean was on sale for $2! Yay! I can make my soysage

rolls! And we found Agar flakes, so now I can make trifle, too! Lucky

everything else was on sale 'cause the agar was over $6 a packet...ouch!

 

Since I don't have access to green tomatoes right now I did a search

on vegetarian mincemeat and found a recipe from Rose Eliot who has a

cookbook called Vegetarian Christmas; it's predominantly traditional

English Christmas cuisine turned veggie, but has other cultures' foods

listed. I think I'm going to have to order that for myself.

 

Things I'll be making for the holidays (and our annual Boxing Day party):

soysage rolls

trifle (Ray's recipe)

mince tarts

Victorian sponge cake

and I'm going to beg my dad for a jar of his homemade pickled onions -

they were excellent last year.

 

Will get recipes posted soon! Now that it's December I am really

getting into the holiday spirit. The other night we watched the Polar

Express (for the first time) and soon we'll be watching Irvin Berlin's

White Christmas (I've watched this movie every year for a long time).

And this year I want to watch A Christmas Story, as I haven't seen

that one in years!
