The last week in: November marks the commencement of pudding making, I do not make them all from the same recipe.
For Christmas Day I like a traditional old-fashioned ro-> cipe-something dark and rich- looking, in keeping with the great day.
Then I have another mixing from a recipo with a story, such us is used in Buckingham Palace. or sometimes I get a recipe from the chef of a famous hotel or one that I have tasted and found very good. These I put into small basins and give as presente. I buy pretty basins for these with flowers painted on them.

Quite early in December I begin to make inquiries about the price of turkeys. A zice sized hen with small bones and a plump breast ts the ideal, but they, alas, are the most expensive.
Turkey Talk
But my choice is always a small- lah bird and plenty of sausages to help it round, Two sausages per hend for dinner is my allowance and another pantul cooked with the bird to get the turkey flavour. These are left in the pan until they are cold-and-are-popular-at supper-time.
I'm particular about the saus- ages.
I always order them in ad- vance at the same time as the plece of bacon for boiling, and in- aist on having Harris real Wiit- shire for both, then I know there will be no complaints from 'any- body.
Extra grocery list, frutt, bread, milk are all worked out well in advance. This year is going to be more dimcult than ever with Christmas falling on a Sunday, so I advise you to be well prepared and stocked up.

Boxing Day lunch. Here is my recipe for it.
Ingredients (pastry): Djoz self-raising flour, 41oz. Stork margarine, 1 gills of milk, pinch of salt, and 40% dem- erara sugar. Zaz. margarino, b. mincemeat, 1 tablespoon sherry, run, or lemon juico. 91ft flour and salt inta a basin and rub in the margarine. Mix to a fairly soft dough with milk, and knead lightly into a smooth lump. Molt the sugar and margarine
together, add Chie mincemeat and spread in the bottom of a ple-diah evenly.
Put the chortcake mixture over the top of the dish and bake for 30 minutes in a fairly hot oven.
During the coming month it is a good plan to add a few extras each order week to the grocery order,
to build up a Christmas larder.
The last week there are nuts and dates crackers and beverages, for, of course you won't forget the festive bottle of port.
Here's Luck!
