Meaning mine today. Nothing worked out the way I originally planned. The cake was a disappointment. I don't know if I ever tried this recipe before - there weren't any comments by me, so even if I had tried it must have been decades ago, before I'd pick up the custom of commenting on tried recipes - but I certainly won't do it again. A lot of work and a fairly bland result.
I couldn't cook the stuffed chicken I wanted to because my friend Evie brought me half a huge zucchini (and I mean one the size of a main water pipe or whatnot) and I didn't want it to go to waste, as zucchinis, too are ridiculously expensive. So I stuffed the thing with mincemeat mixed with an egg and soaked, two-day-old rolls, added onion and garlic paste and spices, spread it with cheese and baked it with the oven. It was delicious, even though the outer layer of the zucchini monster refused to soften, so we had to throw that part away, after all.
The stuffing turned out to me way too much, so I made little patties of the rest (22 in entirety), fried them in oil and let them cool. Later I froze them for next Saturday, when my friends will (hopefully) come.
I've finally sewn on the little bells, so the Christmas quiet book page is finished. That's another thing out of my hair. Next week will be busy again, so that's good.
I had a few phone calls today: from my cousin (Little Emma's grandfather), from H (Little Emma's grandmother), from my goddaughter (Little Emma's mum; even Emma and big brother wished me happy birthday) and my friend Evie. That was very nice. We then watched the German version of the GBBO and started packing. Tomorrow is cleaning frenzy again, and we have to put things up on the cupboards and tables and whatnot, so that the cleaning lady can have actual access to the dirt.
