Oh, I’m sorry Helen, it seems to be the time for financial problems atm. Maybe it’s good you got it before the “nosedive”

Heather, had we forseen our financial nosedive, we too wouldn’t have such a neat set up either.

well, I made it up. Basically the risotto bare bones as normal with garlic and onions sweated in olive oil, and finely diced beetroot – all I had [3], but I think there was less at the restaurant as their end product was pink, and mine red! then the risotto rice added [350g for 4]. 1l of stock – mine was half red wine and half water with herbs, all warmed, and gently poured in drib at a time until all ready. Served with a swirl of soured cream. Could also add grated parmasan near the end to make it richer, and cream I guess. Was lovely.

I love Christmas cake making, this year Titch helped me (Pip helped with the puddings) and she likes it raw….of course now we start every day with “is it Christmas, I want some cake”

I think chatty four year olds are fabulous. Leo once stopped a man in the street just to tell him all about the ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’ video he had just collected from the library. Sometimes I think we would all be happier if we never lost that friendly open way of talking to people.
