I had a change of plan today as my other half didn't fancy lamb - Roast pork instead with crispy roast potatoes, apple fritters, mashed carrots with buttenut squash, cabbage and a delicious onion herb gravy! Went down a treat - afternoon indoors as it's freezing cold outside and I went for a walk this morning crunching through the snow.

I think it might be a hot chocolate sort of afternoon here!

Can you get crumpets in Italy? Sounds like that sort of a day.

Unfortunately no -but I have some crumpet rings and sometimes make my own when inspired. They are surprisingly easy and quite fun to make too!

Yes I've got some of those... used to use them when I cooked on a woddburning Aga-type stove.

I do like an Aga, they give off such a lovely warmth. Have never tried cooking with one but I believe they do wonderful roasts.

Well -today there's a lovely smell of roast lamb in the kitchen. No mint sauce though. I managed to bone it quite well myself and have made a stuffing with dried apricots. It will be served with baked potatoes and roasted buternut squash and it's own gravy. Special treat for after - Christmas pudding with brandy cream. The puddings arrived in the post the other day courtesy of one of my friends!
