Thank you!

Big thanks to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday!

I haven't got around to thank each one of you yet. Sorry. The work is quite time-consuming this week. (Until Tuesday next week, at least.) I will keep in touch somehow, sometime.

Had a typical birthday. DINNER was the most important thing. I made a stuffed roasted chicken (rice and cranberry stuffing), roasted potatoes, boiled/steamed carrots + turnip/swede, boiled green beans. I used a corn-fed free-range chicken, which was absolutely beautiful. Stuffing was good, too. And we baked a coconut chocolate cake with icing on top. I baked this cake several times before, and it's our family favourite.

Oh, and I had 2 bottles of fruity ciders. One with raspberries and black currant (tastes like Ribena) and the other with strawberry and lime. Lovely, but too alco-pop for my taste. I'm a Guinness woman, you know. (Or, straight vodka.)

It was a nice feast, indeed. Now I should start thinking about Halloween food and Christmas dinner...
