We went over to my Mum's for lunch yesterday and had a very pleasant lunch of wild Alaskan salmon, squash and sweet potato mash and peas. Then Chocolate pudding for dessert. It was very tasty and kind of her to cook for us.
She'd made these fondant mint leaves (the underside is covered in chocolate). They looked very delicious but I was utterly stuffed from lunch! A pity as I'd now like to try one!
I wonder what your favourite confectionery at Christmas is? If you were able to eat a chocolate of sweet of choice, what would it be.
As usual, I have received a wealth of chocolate and biscuits from school children. It is very kind of them but I feel rather overwhelmed by it all. SOooo much chocolate, SO many biscuits. It's not good for me to eat that amount.
To that end, I feel a bit guilty about doing it, but when our postman called to deliver a parcel, I gave him one of the boxes of chocolates. He seemed very pleased and I figured that the joy I got from his smile is much better than the joy of eating those chocolates (Milk Tray incidentally).
I may also deliver a box to the staff at my local station. I know that I mustn't eat loads of chocolates, so I hope that is ok and you don't consider it wrong that I will pass on one of the many boxes!
Regarding confectionery- I always love After Eight mints or those Elizabeth Shaw Mint crisps but if I received 6 boxes of those, even those would seem to much. I guess it's about things in moderation and not excess!
