Kimberley - glad you like the recipe. One variation that works well is to use chopped hazelnuts instead of whole hazels, seems to result in a better texture.

I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet, but hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

What the heck. I turned my pc on to find that everything was erased. Whyyyyyyyy...? Urg. I hate windows 7 right now. And yes, I blame win7 because I can, and because I didn't get any sleep. Angry face.

Yep, that's right folks. All the presents are bought and wrapped, some have even been given out (there are some folks I won't see before christmas so it had to be done, the rest of it I just wanted out the way). All cards are writen. Arrangements have been confirmed for Christmas day. All I need to do is put the decorations up and I'm done. I've even started (in conjunction with my best friend who is equally as organised... or complusive depending on your point of view) planning the new years eve get together and freezing the food that I can freeze for it.

People laugh at me but I see it this way, when everyone else is going nuts fighting the crowds, paying inflated christmas prices and queing for the majority of their adult lives, I will have my feet up with a book and a cup of coffee... who's the weirdo now ha????

When do you guys start the festive madness prep?

I'm with you Char. Get it all done early.
In years past I would have all the gifts bought before Thanksgiving.
Things are a little different now that I'm retired.

Probably a case of PEBKAC I absolutely love Windows 7. Very stable, fast, and secure.

I'm a windows 7 girl and I adore it.

Almost as good as Windows ME.

No idea what PEBKAC is, sorry. I doubt PMS is making me hallucinate all my stuff gone, though.
I don't mind having windows 7, it's fine... But if I have to reinstall 30 gigs of games again, and get my 100 gigs of music back... It's going in the trash.

What are smokin' ? And FYI, PEBKAC stands for "problem exists between keyboard and chair"
