Shopping and sauciness
Dec. 23rd, 2015 08:33 pmHurried into town, noting in the process how much improved Warwick Road is now that the large office blocks no longer put in premature shadow in winter, and headed to Waterstones to equip the kids with new books. After humming and hahing over a few things, I finally found something for everyone and headed home. The place wasn't particularly crowded with last minute shoppers; I guess most people must be more organised than me!
Spent the afternoon making cranberry sauce after we were given two free packets of berries by the greengrocer. I used Nigel Slater's classic recipe with a few other bits and pieces to make life a bit more interesting. The results met with general satisfaction during a blind taste test — in particular I'd been under orders to avoid anything too citrusy, following a long-ago incident when pater had made a particularly tart batch of cranberry using orange juice — and the results were put aside to await Christmas Day.
