I think your Yule Log looks great, I know what you mean about the mess though!
Sam really wants to make a Beef Wellington as he loves watching Gordon Ramsey but as I haven’t done it before I hate the thought of ruining such an expensive piece of beef! |

That chocolate orange dessert looks fab Abby! Do you mind sharing the recipe when you get a minute?
I feel your pain over the testing, what a complete logistical nightmare! I hope you have managed to sort it, you sound like a very dedicated teacher! Both Hope and Sam are exam years and we have heard from the college and school tonight. I feel so bad for all these teaching staff who are having to very quickly put different plans into place. Hope’s head teacher is fuming, you can tell in his email. Hope is back on the 11th with remote learning next week then testing will commence twice a week. Sam is going in next Thursday to be tested then again the morning of the 11th before school starts then again every 3 days. Good luck with it all, will you be tested too I assume? |

Honestly all these meals are wonderful! I have seen so many lovely new things to try! very very fancy too!
So Happy New Year and I have everything crossed for a fantastic 2021 with safe travels for everyone. I made a creamy corn and bacon dip served in a boule with lots of nibbles from Waitrose. Not much cooking but to be honest no one is very hungry, so nibbles it is. Abby sending you all good wishes and big hugs, I know that you must be so busy with work and all the new changes being implemented by the Government on a daily basis. I have everything crossed that the transition will be smooth and that you will all be kept safe. 💝 xx |

Honestly Alicia, all I did was pop some salad alongside the very beige snacks from the grocery store. 😂 oh and the very colourful macarons distract too! The balloons were slightly larger than I anticipated- Adam and Cooper are thrilled poor Milo is just hiding in the lounge. Xx

He is my hero Who can resist Party Rings!?
Our Beef Wellington was from the butcher, I really did want to attempt it myself but had exactly the same fear as you over ruining the beef. This all looks so lovely! Love the balloons. I think you win for best presentation. |

Happy New Year Everyone I hope you all had fun seeing out 2020 and welcoming in 2021. I can't believe all the wonderful meals you all had.
Tara, I agree with Alicia, I'd love for Mark to cook dinner for me one time, would you consider renting him out? This looked spectacular. Your poor neighbours, we played board games and did get quite load. No singing here though. We are bringing different year groups in on different days to test them, but all that depends on the government actually supplying the tests as promised. They did come out fine in the end but I preferred the mini chicken Kievs. This all looks fab, I'm also really grateful Colette shared her recipes early on as it the pancakes and salmon were great, as was the trifle. Your cocktails look great It was a recipe from a good housekeeping cook book. I'll get it later for you. At my school all staff will be offered a weekly test from now on. I love the balloons they are fab, what a a lovely idea This looks delicious what a lovely meal.

New year's eve buffet
Well here it is the Chicken donuts are bottom left. Plus we had chicken Kievs, brie and cranberry tarts, onion rings. It was all good. And here's a photo of the chocolate orange tart. We had a fun night playing board games and we did manage to stay awake until gone midnight, which is pretty good going for me.
