Decadent December....................
This is a month that comes in between No/Low Spend November and Just-stay-in January!! But although it's a good alliteration I have no idea if I can actually be decadent at my age!
After Low Spend November I'll be spending lots of money this month as there are 8 remaining presents to sort out and after avoiding all coffees and cakes/scones outside home last month I'll be indulging this month whenever possible! Whoopy do!
I started with a Coffee and a Bacon Roll for breakfast at yesterday's Christmas Sale - not exactly decadent but very tasty. The Village Hall at Rickinghall, was packed with lots of lovely things and a happy atmosphere. Having their sale on a Sunday meant they avoided clashing with so many others on Saturday
My real special Christmas indulgences are tucked away on the top shelf in the kitchen, way out of reach without the steps. It's so odd how my tastes have changed over the years and no longer are there any boxes of Quality Street, Cadburys Roses or those lovely things that are no longer around called Neapolitans .............do you remember them? they were little individually wrapped chocolates shaped like a mini bar of chocolate in different flavours, milk, plain, mocha etc. Used to love those, when did they stop making them I wonder.
There are just two chocolate things on the top shelf, one is a box of After Eights for Christmas and the other is a big box of Chocolate Liqueurs - the ones that are shaped like little bottles with a teaspoon of whisky, brandy or Cointreau inside each - and that's a weird thing to be a treat as I've never drunk spirits in a glass at all......ever! They are for cheering up grotty January.
The other decadent indulgences are preserved fruits also for January and a tin of good shortbread for Christmas and I'll be adding a bag of mixed nuts ready for making the spiced nuts which are rather more-ish, and that's all I need!
I don't spend long in the "Seasonal" aisle of the supermarkets............. I'm not a lot of help for their profits!
Back Tomorrow
