Christmas Cake

Papa Owl has decided that this year he is going to make us a Christmas Cake.  His mum makes one every year, and usually he persuades her to cut him a healthy chunk which we enjoy over the festive period.  This year we are going to have a whole cake!

Now you might have noticed by now that I am no baker.  So I had two jobs to do, the first was to take photos!  Little Owl and Papa Owl weighed all the fruit and mixed it together.  Papa Owl then gave it some brandy to drink.
 My second job was to take Little Owl out for the day so Papa Owl could work his magic.  I have no idea what was involved but like the good "blogger's hubby" he took some photos.
So that's our Christmas Cake all wrapped up!  Literally but not figuratively, as it needs "watering" with brandy once or twice a week until about a week until school breaks up and then its time to ice it ready for the big day!

How do you eat yours?

Papa Owl treated Little Owl and I to a Sunday roast last night.  Its not something we do often but its a lovely treat when we do.  We even lit a fire so Little Owl and I could snuggle on the sofa while Papa Owl was busy cooking.
A perfect Sunday.
But Little Owl didn't seem so keen on her roast.
Don't want it!
She kept asking for something from the fridge.
We told her she would have to wait for us to finish dinner before she could have desert.
Little Owl still wanted something from the fridge.
Again we told her to wait.
But still Little Owl wanted something from the fridge.
Not quite the relaxing meal we had hoped for.
Eventually Papa Owl and I finished our plates.
We opened the fridge door to see what it was that Little Owl wanted.
Cheese?
No.
Milk?
No.
Cream?
No.
Other cheese?
No.
Yogurt?
No.
Ham?
No.
Eventually.....

At last - they understood!

I just want some mayo on my roast...
That's better! 

 Sprouts and mayo...

 the way it should be!
Little Owl finished her entire plate!
