Not much baking going on here this week as I still don't have a working oven (could be stir frying the turkey in four weeks time at this rate!) However I have managed to make a trifle to take out to friends for dinner this evening. A very festive caramelised orange trifle from Delia's Christmas book.
And while I was browsing through the pages of the cook book I decided I would make some truffles too! Very fiddly and messy but they taste good!
And a tree decoration which was inspired by several seen yesterday at the
Burwash Manor Christmas shop... where I just happened to meet
Silver Pebble and
Dotty Cookie plus a little Pebble and Cookie, for lunch and a bit of seasonal shopping! Can you tell I'm starting to feel festive!

Ooh - before I read that you'd made it I assumed you's succumbed and bought the one we'd seen! It looks identical (lovely New England style) - and I spy some Domesticali string too!
ReplyDeleteWell done on finding some delicious things to make that didn't need the oven - they look irresistible.
Lovely to see you as ever - such a treat. Emma x
Your trifle and truffles look fabulous and how I wish I could have met you all yesterday too! Did you get to have a cuddle of the tiny Pebble?

Oooh, we have the truffles on our list to try for Christmas. She claims they freeze, and I shall test that!
ReplyDeleteYour decoration is lovely - you don't hang about though, do you?!
Thanks for another lovely meeting, and for my little angel!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm x
ReplyDeleteYummmmmm! Trifle, I love trifle. and truffles! Can I come to your house for Christmas? lol
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling a bit left out....
ReplyDeleteI make that trifle every year - yummy stuff!
ReplyDeleteAnd that sounds like a good lunch date.
Lovely looking trifle! I hope you get an oven before christmas, stir fry turkey doesn't sound as good as roasted!
ReplyDeleteLordy woman ~ oh how I long to live near you! You could use my oven:-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity I'm the wrong side of the country for Burwash Manor - it looks to be a lovely place. Your trifle and truffles look pretty lovely too.
ReplyDeleteoh would have loved to have joined you, sounds like a good time - such gorgeous trifle - yummmm.!

I don't understand the problem, what is wrong with an oven that doesn't work? Mine never brakes down, oh how I wish!

ReplyDeleteCan I come and live at your place Gina! I promise I won't eat much(I shouldn't make promises I can't keep - I would eat LOTS at your place).
