Sylvia's oven looks amazing - perhaps she will allow you to cook in your oven while she cooks in hers, or perhaps lots of your ingredients will go missing!!!<br /><br />Your tea-towel is great - one to add to the collection!<br /><br />It looks like a fabulous Christmas lunch, full of delicious food and fun family times. The pudding might not yet be perfect, but it looks remarkably tasty and if it were perfect what would you strive for next year?!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-20098731050526569442011-12-30T23:33:45.217+11:002011-12-30T23:33:45.217+11:00Thanks Ricki - I just can't get the pudding cr...Thanks Ricki - I just can't get the pudding crust right but it is getting better and it tastes good - otherwise yes it was a lovely christmas<br /><br />Thanks Hannah - you would appreciate how my mum does desserts at Christmas - she always has pudding alternatives<br /><br />Thanks Lorraine - how exciting for Mr NQN to get a new bike<br /><br />Thanks Lisa - the storms passed us by altogether in Geelong so we were surprised at the cubby hut roof when we got home<br /><br />Thanks Joanne - I think Sylvia just wants to get her hands on my new camera to prove what a great food blogger she is :-)<br /><br />Thanks Maria - best wiehes to you too for the new year - glad you are enjoying the blog<br /><br />Thanks Kath - Tim and Stuppy - never heard those names - and I confess I had the t-shirt but never read the books but E loved them and thought the film was quite faithful to them<br /><br />Thanks Chele - Santa was indeed busy and generous - christmas pudding is a challenge but it does taste amazingJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-59794553496281890032011-12-30T19:45:32.156+11:002011-12-30T19:45:32.156+11:00Gosh, Santa was very generous this year wasn't...Gosh, Santa was very generous this year wasn't he.
