A Masterchef contestant made dates stuffed with almonds and wrapped in bacon. I tried to make them, but when I do them they are underwhelming. I think you need to soak the dates a bit first. It needs work.

Ah, but what variety of date did you use? Some are drier than others. I suspect said contestant used Medjool dates, which are lovely, soft and taste wonderfully caramel-y, but they're like £2 for nine in Lidl... And that's the cheapest you're likely to find them. I'd suggest trying Deglet Nour dates instead, but poke the pack first to see if they're nice and squishy.

Reckon I'd ditch the almond and use salty / strong cheese instead e.g. feta or stilton. Would use smoked streaky bacon for this as well.

Actually, I have all the ingredients for this knocking around. Might give it a whirl.

The van is stuffed full of rolls of loft insulation. It doesn't leave any room for the Christmas grog. That's a bit of a worry.

One more sleep until blokes start their xmas shopping.

I had mine finished before May this year. Wrapped as well.

I will happily do the cleaning.

I love cleaning.

Weird! I hate cleaning and tidying.... just takes time away from doing things I like and returns to the pre-clean/tidy state within a very short space of time. (However I'd love to live in a place that was always clean and tidy because someone else sorted it for me

I need layers pellets. Mr Hop was asked to get some as he drove past the warehouse. Twice.
I now have a 15 mile round trip to do just for those.

I hopefully need starter crumb....

Oooo... I haven't bought any of those in ages, I wonder if there will be any in the shops, if so they are going in the shopping trolley!

Not Mundane, but funny and endearing.... we received a present in the post yesterday. It always makes us smile when we get this annual present! It's wrapped up in proper wrapping paper with the address on the gift tag/label. Don't even need to look at the sender details as we automatically know who it if from
