Food, and things.

It was our minister's last Sunday yesterday - he retires this week. We will miss him, and goodness knows when we will get a replacement, but the ministers and lay preacher from our sister church 15 miles away are going to fill-in, so it should be fine.

Quite a lot of us from Church went out for a meal with him, and his new wife, to mark the occasion. It was a good meal, with good company - but D-d tells me that their spiced red cabbage still wasn't as good as mine...

Last night I put some meat to marinade, then finished the prep during my lunch break today, left it in the oven on timer and... does anyone remember this line from my story Return of The Key -

‘Uh – wonder if I can face eating Bambi’s Pop?’ Dawn thought.

Well D-d and I decided that we could - I have to report that the venison stew was very, very good!

Well, I better start taking some cards and decorations down - D-d and I will go up to my mother's when I finish work tomorrow night, as it is her birthday, so we won't have enough time to do it all on Twelfth Night!

Very similiar to the recipe I use, except I use cider vinegar, no cranberries and a cup of chicken broth.

In fact I made some on Sunday for Wednesday's roast chicken dinner.

There are a lot of similar recipes - it is one of the best winter foods, isn't it? We can actually get it ready made from Tescos or M&S but they 'fast-cook' theirs, which is doubtless healthier than the slow-cooked version, but not such a well-rounded taste.
