On a more positive note, the other night I managed to produce some not-at-all-bad buns and - particularly surprising - mince pies. Which may not sound like a big deal - but they had to be gluten-free. I had never tried making GF pastry before so was a tad nervous. Think there might be a bit of a spree over the next couple of weeks…
Unfortunately, the bowl of MiniKen (ancient food processor) broke after making the pastry, so have to wait till I get a replacement. The good news is that said replacment is going to be the processor attachment for BigKen. The even better news is that I just got notified that the delivery date has been changed from next Tuesday to tomorrow. YAY!!!
On which point, the breadmaker just meeped at me:

Oh - and I managed to lay in a store of Hen! Tomorrow’s mission is to find a bottle of Hermitage. Could be a good Christmas…
