Good morning Cafe and thanks for the coffee, Perris.
When is that cake due out of the oven?!
Chilly morning. Now that I've taken care of getting the car registered, the truck load of pallet scrap stacked, shopping done and ALL the prescriptions called in, I'll head back to work on dad's house for the weekend and Monday.

It takes 6 weeks to bake?


Low 20's this morning, poopsicles to scrape and sift, but thawed water.

She's baking that cake for us. She needs to do a practice run (or 2 or 3) before Christmas.

I use an old painters tool to pop the poopsicles for scooping. What do you use? I'm glad I haven't needed it yet this year. But I believe I will be using it next week.

I have a standard gardening hoe with the handle cut down, works to gather all the stuff and push into the sifter basket. Works to scrape/peel/pop off the frozen ones, some(juicy poops) take more scraping than others. Gotta be careful not to pierce the vinyl lining the boards, especially where it curves up the sides.

Hah, this is another apparently lost example of slow food. To cook, 2 hours; To mature and absorb the alcohol, 6 weeks!

Christmas puddings are best after a year... I do not understand why they don't go off, and why last year's pudding is better than this year's, but it's a fact.

All the alcohol?
I love to watch Great British Baking show, but still don't quite grasp all the different terms for what we 'yanks' call desserts.......but carry on, and eat old cake
