Skully and the Christmas Tree
Skully
Our dogs are allowed through into the lounge after tea, and after a mad half hour, they normally settle down in my knee to watch television. However, Skully found another diversion last night – Christmas Tree Baubles! How she hasn’t spotted them before now surprises me! She managed to dislodge one of the larger baubles (not too fragile, fortunately) and she thought this would make a good toy.
She carried it by the cotton into the dog room and was having a great game jumping on it and making it bounce!
At that point I had to take it from her for safety’s sake – so she went and got another and the game started again! We must go down to the new Pets at Home store and get her a safer toy (as if she hasn’t enough to play with)!

A Delicious Way of Using left-over Christmas Pudding
Christmas Cherry Souffle
Pre-heat the oven to 180*C (160 for a fan oven) or gas mark 4. Butter 2 x7 inch souffle or casserole dishes. Put a large baking sheet in the oven to warm up.
Souffle
For each 2oz of left over christmas pud, (crumbled), you will need 4 tablesp brandy and 2 oz black cherry jam or conserve.
Stir these together.
Then you will need 3oz butter (melted in a saucepan), plus extra for greasing, Stir in 8 oz plain flour and gradually add 1 pint whole milk.
Bring to the boil, stirring, then reduce the heat and cook for 2 minutes.
Add 4 oz caster sugar and 2 oz finely chopped stem ginger – or 2 good pinches mixed spice, (stirring) then beat in the Yolks of 8 large eggs.
Fold in the Christmas pudding mixture.
Whisk the whites of 8 large eggs and gradually whisk in 2 oz caster sugar to make a meringue.
Fold the meringue into the sauce and divide between the 2 dishes. Place dishes onto the heated baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until well risen and golden.
Serve immediately. Enjoy with Vanilla Ice Cream or Chilled Cream.

Treat for the birds – stuffing for the Turkey
When you have made your home-made Stuffing for the Turkey – you will have the hollowed out shell of a loaf.
Fill it with treats for the birds – seeds, nuts, fat, left over dinner, dried up christmas pudding and christmas cake, fruit etc. The birds will love it.
