I'll just buy a pre-made one from whichever supermarket is doing them this year.

A bit like a cheesecake. Oreo biscuit base, then a filling of melted marshmallows, cream, creme de menthe and creme de cacao liqueurs. Don't panic if the filling seems very, very liquid when you pour it in, it WILL set in the fridge after a few hours. https://www.tasteatlas.com/grasshopper-pie/recipe/marshmallow-grasshopper-pie That looks laaverly 😋 On 14/12/2023 at 07:23, PTBCAL said: Homemade butternut coconut and chilli soup A chocolate cake I will also make. i am spending it on my own this year and absolutely delighted.

hughesie27 Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Went to M&S and Costco on Tuesday to get our stuff. Frozen Prawns and some hot cayenne pepper for the sauce (homemade). She doesn't like prawns so it will be a fancy duck pate and small crusty rolls for her. Turkey Joint with stuffing and a seville orange glazed Ham Normal accompaniments minus Sprouts. M&S do these chocolate pine cones that are incredible for dessert. For breakfast it's bake at home croissants with philidelphia and smoked salmon with a bucks fizz. We also have some mini steak pies, a jar of fake caviar and cream cheese to have for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
