TGIF! AND it's Rudolph Day too

Morning readers,

I've a make to share with you today ... since it IS Rudolph Day what sort of make would I be sharing with you? You are indeed correct, it IS a Christmas card, well, another batch really as I am still playing catch up! This was just a batch of five as I found ten was starting to get a bit samey, I think I would rather do two batches of five so ... standby for some more batches of five until I am back on track!

Yesterday we hosted a BBQ for a few friends (like family) as it's school holidays and no-one had to get up this morning, we chose a Thursday! Hubby was the BBQ master and I took care of dessert, with my Brown Bread Beano ... kind of legendary - once tasted, never forgotten! Or so I've been told! It's always been a crowd pleaser ... so, after I dropped hubby at the mall bus station (on Wednesday) and I'd bought out half of M&S, I headed home to make said BBB ... it seems to taste EVEN better if made 24 hours in advance - here it is!

And, as for the BBQ - it seemed to go off well!! Brown Bread Beano was indeed well received - not much in the way of leftovers anyway!
