Christmas holidays πdonβt end til the #MincePies π₯§ in the freezer run out
Fun day today involving a quiz race, balloons, ping-pong balls and the happy discovery of a leftover mince pie (sealed in a packet!) in my office drawer.
Plus my back has almost recovered from last week's ludicrous moment of idiocy injury.
It occurs to me that if more of my job was actually teaching (and eating mince pies) I would love it so much more. I have a pretty high tolerance for admin and bureaucracy in general but academia is bloody drowning in it

Three food-related articles we published in the last month: Mince Pies, Honey and Cooking in caves. All three quite different but all three interesting to read! #Bylines #Food #MincePies #Honey #CookingInCaves https://northwestbylines.co.uk/lifestyle/food/not-an-ode-to-the-british-mince-pie/

Good morning from Thaxted. Today is a sad day. The last of the #christmas #mincepies has been eaten.
Meanwhile in good news, we've still got a whole #panettone to eat. Yay!
Pax!

#threeThings #3Things to treat myself:
1. A walk in the sunshine up around the top of the village with views over the Trent valley towards Belvoir ('beever') Castle
2. Putting my feet into my fleecy slippers
3. Mulled wine and a mince pie

Someone please tell me when mince pie season is over. Got a Too Good To Go bag yesterday that had 3 of them along with 3 fruit scones, two of my least favourite pastries. Can deal with the scones (it's just the sultanas that I dislike), but mince pies? Been in Ireland 12 years and have not yet managed to adapt.

My wood burner bakes are becoming more adventurous Using a lidded loaf tin for the bread protects the bread and the mince pies took advantage of the end of evening heat. Needed some bread crumbs for the nut roast so all in all very productive π

For anyone who feels that they've eaten too much, here is a
Carol for #ChristmasDay at Night: An anonymous 17thC #ballad carol describing many of the foods eaten at Christmas.
From New #Christmas #Carols, 1662.
In common with many #broadsideballads, this carol appear with lyrics but no music. Instead, instructions are given for the choice of melody - in this case, the popular tune, #Greensleeves.
Michael Palmer: #baritone
Eleanor Cramer: bass viol
Robin Jeffrey: #cittern

So not having the #Christmas that is being advertised by supermarkets. We two are staying home playing Goat Simulator and having homemade pizza for dinner. #GoodTimes #JoinIn All the #MincePies for us!

As we learn tearfully at the end of Frank Capra's #Christmas classic, It's A Wonderful Life, which some of you may be rewatching over the next couple of days... 'No man is a failure who has #MincePies.'

This afternoon we did a cookalong using a recipe for #MincePies from a book belonging to one of #JaneAusten βs friends. It was good fun!
I work in Bath so usually avoid all things Austen like the plague, but the lemon-heavy mincemeat was delicious. #ChristmasFood #BritishFood
