Ham Glorious Ham!
Back on form today - got a number of projects on the go. Claire's out in Oxford shopping so I've got the boys, and am on various cooking projects. First and foremost the Christmas Ham is nearly done, here's a picture of the work in progress: Can't divulge the formula but it's going to be a good 'un! Now at least two of my facebook friends have thrown down the gauntlet of late challenging my claim to be the Ham King Of Bicester - so we are going to organise a bake-off sometime soon! On a similar note, my good friend Alex was round here earlier and most generously brought me a Heston Christmas Pudding from Waitrose, one of those with an orange in the middle. Now Alex also mentioned that there are plans afoot for some sort of Come Dine With Me challenge as well between him and a couple of others so it seems that the culinary challenges are being issued left, right and centre. Alex prepares much of his own food, and has had pigs, turkeys and all sorts...
