About to eat my last #mincePie

#MorningCoffeeAlbum with Christmas Eve #mincePie

Dr John's Gumbo

Another one ticked off my wanted list.

#WritersCoffeeClub 23/12: What Christmas treat will you enjoy while writing over the holidays?
Coffee and a mince pie. In fact there might be one on the horizon right now…

* easy meals - porridge for breakfast, curry and rice from leftovers for lunch

* Managed a short walk well wrapped up and back home before I got too cold (it's a wimdy day). Rewarded myself with tea & a mince pie

* A friend called to update me on how they're doing (they may have COVID and are feeling pretty rough). I told them they're doing the right thing by resting up, drinking plenty fluids and taking their strepsil cough sweets

This year's favourite #MincePie so far. They're even better than the frangipane ones which I usually honour with this important award.

Sweet but not too sugary, the right pastry:filling ratio, fruity, and... Cognac!

#MorningCoffeeAlbum with #mincePie

Pilgrimage - Wishbone Ash

Wishbone Ash's "difficult second album", not quite living up to the promise of their eponymous debut album, a position rectified by their seminal third LP, Argus.

#MorningCoffeeAlbum plus #mincePie

The Gift - The Jam

A feature of this album, and of so much of The Jam's music, is Bruce Foxton's immaculate bass playing.

First mince pies of the season.

How Did This Happen And What Does It Now Mean - Joan Armatrading

I've just had my first mince pie for the festive season. It was a Tesco finest one with spiced rum. I may be too drunk to go to work. #MincePie #TescoFinest

First mince pie of the season. Only have 10 to last me. Hardships of being an immigrant!

Knnillssonn - Harry Nilsson
Released in 1977, this was in my wife's collection. I'm not sure if I've listened to it before.

Anyone had a mince pie yet? I'm really tempted but my lad reckons it's too early in the year.

#MorningCoffeeAlbum (with #mincepie )
& released on this day 11 November 1973

Tattoo - Rory Gallagher

First #MincePie of the season.

Just checking, it's not too soon is it?
#mincepie #Coffee

First #MincePies of the year. As always, they turned out delicious.

The pastry recipe calls for ground almonds. Since almonds are an environmental disaster, I replaced them with cashews, which I ground myself with a pestle and mortar. Result is really good.

Just tucking into the #German equivalent of a #MincePie : #Spekulatius

However, these are #GlutenFree (from a company called #Schär) and I don't know what to think yet.
