We have just had a small plateful each of party food bits and pieces for tea!!
Yummy!! Neither of us wanted too much to eat so spring rolls, tikka bites, spicy chicken pieces, mozzarella bites and onion bhajis have been duly sampled and enjoyed.
Lots more to try over Xmas and New Year!!

Anyone else tried any Xmas bits yet?

The ACs and GCs have sampled the sweet bowl which has been refilled twice!! But I'm not a chocoholic so have been enjoying the odd Werthers and Fruit chews - when they are gone - they are gone!! Whether the big man has been or not!!

Oh you rotten lot, l've been so good at keeping my stash of goodies locked away in the cupboard, but now I am going to find something nice to nibble and knowing me I will probably end up with polishing the whole lot off.

Iโ€™ve been very good so far! One year I ate a whole tub of roses chocolates - not all at once just a handful every night.

Oreo do you actually eat dates? Every Christmas of my childhood a box of Eat Me dates with exotic packaging of camels and palm trees would be put on the coffee table. To my knowledge, nobody ever ate them!

Dates wrapped in bacon are a nice alternative to pigs in blankets.
I first had them in a tapas bar in Lanzarote ๐Ÿ˜‹
