Good morning fellow Mastos and Happy Christmas to those who celebrate and who are in a similar time zone!
Have a great day today, hopefully you got all that you wanted or at the very least, all you deserved! Take care.
Today's photo is two trifles created by my good lady wife, MrsD. The small one, for her, is a southern trifle and has no jelly. The big one is mine and is properly made with jelly. It will sustain me today and for boxing day breakfast, as is tradition. 😉
Enjoy your day.
@NormanDunbar Morning Norman 👋😊
Hope you, Mrs D & of course Wesley have a fabulous day! Merry Christmas my friend! 😊🫶
🖖
@MAJ1 Likewise, we hope you and Mrs Squirrel are having a great day too.
@NormanDunbar i hav no idea what this is but it looks delicious
@kaliagainstallodds From the bottom....
Fresh raspberries encased in raspberry jelly with bits of cake fingers and sweet sherry.
On top of that, custard.
Above that, freshly whipped cream and "sprinkles".
The small bowl is identical, but Southern UK people don't have the jelly in the bottom layer, so it goes all mushy!
Cheers.
@NormanDunbar that sounds soo good, i will try making it.
@kaliagainstallodds Not if you have a potential heart problem! Too many bad things in it!
Merry Christmas @NormanDunbar and all, perhaps a little spice Rum? 🤔 🥂
@NormanDunbar like you I much prefer jelly, but in two levels.
@NormanDunbar Sherry seems to be a preferred addition, but an adequate whisky blend adds that wee something for breakfast 🥳
@Wen @NormanDunbar
I was working in Newcastle building an oil & gas platform. Before nightshift I’d frequent an excellent pub for dinner. The cook came out & asked if I’d like to sample his 1st attempt at trifle. It was great. He informed me there was a half bottle of whisky in it!
@Wen We have a sweet sherry in ours. This year anyway.
@Wen @NormanDunbar You are now making me think "could I figure out how to whiskey glaze a trifle?"
@NormanDunbar
Good morning to you too MrD! 🙂
Merry Christmas to you, MrsD and Wesley 🎄⛄🎅
That's no trifle, sir. It is a carefully constructed delight for the nose, taste buds and eyes. 😁
We wish you all the best for today! Keep warm and well oiled😉
I'm likely to be busy most of the day, as there are a large number of presents to open and we are yet to have breakfast, never mind the gap needed for lunch.
Once again, sir. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! (Use Brian Blessed vocal font 😁)
@Steampunk_Prof Morning Professor. Alison says thanks for your compliments regarding her trifles. She has asked me to pass on best Christmas wishes to you and MrsSP. Also, there's plenty trifle if you want some!
Have a great day.
@NormanDunbar
I'd prefer MrsD's southern trifle, I'm not a big fan of jelly🙂
Have a break from opening the first round of presents.
Enjoy your day and have fun!
@Steampunk_Prof Had a beach wander. Just about to have lunch. Trifle without jelly?????
@NormanDunbar
Sounds nice, a walk by the sea would be nice.
We had dinner out, got back, kids played with the stuff they had this morning. Then unwrapped all the remaining presents which were mostly the ones from us.
I now have a robot lawnmower 😁
Busy looking for supporting software and hardware hacks, as you do.
Hope the trifles were as lovely as they looked (don't doubt it at all, more for polite conversation)
Busy doing a late buffet tea.
Have a good evening!
@Steampunk_Prof Does your robot have GPS to know where your boundaries are? A neighbour has one, a Husquvarna. He had to set up ropes to get it to learn where it had to stop trimming. Newer models use GPS it seems.
Trifle is indeed as good as it looked. I've had three bowls today and still half remains.
Enjoy your evening.
@NormanDunbar Ooh I'm a bit puzzled at the idea of trifle without jelly. Is that not then just a bowl of cream with sponge fingers at the bottom?
@NormanDunbar MrsD is wise! I would prefer no jelly too.
Merry Christmas!
