We always laughed as half of DD's gifts were always 'some assembly required'. I have some lovely photos of her and DH on the floor assembling various Barbie contraptions over the years.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Cathy I just looked in the 'seafood bounty' and it has a seafood cocktail sauce:
a batch of TM mayo with 1tsp Worcestershire, 1tsp lemon juice, dash Tabasco, 35g tomato sauce and 45g thick cream 15sec sp3.
It also has a Tartare recipe:
with 1 onion, tsp capers, 1tbs chives, clove garlic, tbsp parsley, 2 batches mayo, 1 tsp vinegar, dash Tabasco, salt and pepper. mix first 5 for 5 sec sp6 - add remaining and combine on sp3.;)
much more sophisticated than mine!  :D
 
Thanks NayNay, it was seafood cocktail sauce that I was looking for.  Will have to give it a go.

I usually spend Christmas Eve manning the phones at Woodford Folk Festival in preparation for a big Boxing Day start... so no cooking... just setting up camp!  :-))

Think Gretch has the right idea though. ;)

Hint on the tramp for Santa Meagan... put the springs into the mat and pull towards the frame!!  It makes all the difference!  Ask me.. I put up our 12ft one on my own one Christmas Eve night!  :P
