Hooray - we have finally made it to Christmas week!!! With the Christmas preparations seeming to start earlier and earlier each year (Christmas carols in the shops in September!!??), the build-up and anticipation towards The Big Day grows to such a level that sometimes Christmas can be an anti-climax when it finally arrives. 

Tiramisu

Things are getting out of hand.

The whole marmalade thing is really affecting me. It is affecting my husband. It is even affecting my neighbours.

But even more worrying... I believe it is deeply affecting my sons.

While I'm writing this they are playing... how to express this... well, they are playing jam-battle. Literally they are playing a game where one of them shoots jam at the other one, then the first one does a somersault, and then the first one in getting up again wins. Eek.

Ladyfingers or Soletilla Cakes

This week I have something exciting to tell you. Is not a jam related thing. Is not even a food related thing. But it´s so exciting I really need to share it with you.

We have a donkey!!!

Yes, a donkey, a real brown, furry, gentle and adorable donkey. His name is Star and we were visiting him last weekend.

Selfish Tiramisu

Tiramisu is the most incredible and delicious desert ever. Has coffee. Has chocolate. Has cheese. In two words, is perfect.

The only problem with tiramisu is... the other people. Yes, because is the kind of desert you know you´re going to ask for even before the starter but, when the waiter come with the deserts menu, the other people start asking for non-tiramisu things and there is where the problems begin.
