I am going to make a gluten-free Christmas cake, or to be more precise, some gluten-free Christmas cakes, as I've got some dinky little pink and blue silicone bun cases I thought would look just lovely. I usually do my Mum a box of mini nice things for Christmas and was about to buy a pretty little cake in John Lewis when I remembered the bun cases. So I'm looking for a recipe quickly before I drink all the rum I bought for it!
On Saturday night I went to Hitchcock's vegetarian restaurant in Hull with the lovely Natasha and the lovely Hannah. It was bloody marvellous. I do get so disappointed by veggie restaurant food, but this was fab. The theme was English food, and there was toad in the hole, shepherd's pie, mushroom and ale pie, Yorkshire puds, roast potatoes, gravy, red cabbage, lots of other veg, cheese sauce, mint sauce, mustard and about 10 different types of pudding!
Mr F-P was a bit poorly last night and had to go to the A&E in an ambulance, doped up with morphine for the pain. Turns out he has kidney stones. It was all rather horrid - not least for him of course!
Anyway, I'll put some pics of the Christmas buns on when I make them.
