[veggiechicken]

Yes, Right place, but its One thing a week and I haven't done mine yet. We have until 10th January to do it

[bramble]

My 1st week challenge.
Empty out and clear all the top presses in the 3 bedrooms and the airing cupboard.
This may sound an easy task, but first I need to get the ladder up from the shed as I couldnt reach them.
As I dont reach them very often they definitely need a few days to do this.

Done

Week one challenge

Not turn myself into and anxious wreck. Oldest starts preschool tomorrow (all day) and will be back Thurs and Fri.

I have only been away from her for an hour or so and even then not been far away, with the exception of her sister being born. Everyone is worried about her but I am quite sure I will be a lot worse.

Week One:
Making a Galette des Rois from scratch to munch on twelfth night a I've never made one before. The rough puff pastry (far too lazy to make proper puff) is resting in the fridge. The almondy bit comes tomorrow and i'll try to remember to take some photos before MrPP gobbles the lot

[Verinda]

Week One:

This may sound a bit boring but years ago I tried avocado on a cracker and thought it was ugh yuck disgusting. But somethings been telling me to try it again so I figured this would be my first challenge. I bought one yesterday, chopped it up, mixed it with lemon and salt and ate it on toast and actually enjoyed it! Now I can't wait to try another one

[PyreneesPlot]

Week One done - first ever Galette des Rois, a bit wonky and with no crown!



The proof of the pudding ...
