How delicious those mince pies look. I often make a big one, but with shortcrust pastry - I find that puff might be soggy if it's used underneath. I love your matchbox nativity set - lovely. Hoping you all have a very happy Christmas. I've enjoyed reading your blog a lot, so I'm following along now.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-45960721365599145832013-12-23T08:58:27.916+00:002013-12-23T08:58:27.916+00:00Lovely tree, loved seeing the children decorating ...Lovely tree, loved seeing the children decorating it. Mince pies wonderful, one of my jobs today. <br />I really loved your window stars in the classroom, I used to do stained glass windows with black paper cut out and tissue paper, similar effect.

One the mince pie front, I have a magazine cutting that rolls puff pastry with mincemeat, then cuts it into slices and it's pressed flatish before baking....makes kind of mini danish pastry looking mince pie things....I'm planning on trying it as also bored of making pies.

With regards to the minemeat slice - Mary Berry made one on the Great British Bake Off Christmas special. She thinly rolled out a pastry base to line a large rectangular tin, spread over the mincemeat and made a streusal topping. It looked really easy to make and very tasty too!Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766240849932971541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-28295595892301127232013-12-20T11:02:11.275+00:002013-12-20T11:02:11.275+00:00Your home looks lovely!

One of my colleagues showed me a photo of her parents' tree last week - it has real candles!<br />Funny you saying about the scientist/engineer in you. My 14yo started her GCSE coursework in September (year 10, so another year to go before the real thing) and is very much an Arts girl, like me. The number of times she's come home and exclaimed about an experiment 'they're boring, I just want to write!' <br />Have a lovely Christmas Anne, you and your family.
