It looks lovely Suzanne.
Mop top, just post photos! Few of us are up to JulieO's or Maddy's calibre.

Wow, everyone's baking and cooking looks so yummy and inviting. I will have to learn how to attach a photo - I am far from the worlds best cook but I love cooking. Don't think my photo's willl look nearly as professional as yours!!

Off to make Lasagne for the freezer and would love to make some fried rice for the freezer as well. Does anyone know if you can freeze fried rice?

Moptop when I make my nasi goreng I always make far too much so if i dont use it all I put the rest into containers in the freezer. It's not just as nice as when freshly cooked but still good.

LOL thanks cookie. I will have to get DS18 to give me a lesson in attaching photos 101

JD, thanks for the answer to freezing Fried Rice. Never buy it, always make it myself and always much nicer.

Looks good Suzanne. Obbie you have just reminded me I need to make my Xmas pudding this week sometime.

Thanks MF, I'm sure the boys and DH will be please to have some while I am away - even if it isn't quite as nice as freshly made. Fried Rice and Lasagne are done and in the freezer. I have now finished all the cooking for them. I love being able to cross things off my to-do-before-I-go-away list

Love the malt slice Suzanne

We will be making our Christmas pudding this week too. I hate it, but mum and SD love it. Its a recipe they got in an Angas Park Christmas Pudding Fruit Mix when they were on holidays a few years ago

I don't like Christmas pudding either Amy and neither do any of my family so we never have it on our Xmas menu.
Reminds me of my childhood as my gran always made it and brought it to our place.
Good you have stocked up your freezer for the family while you are away Moptop. Where are you off to?

Amy :-) · « **Reply #13690 on:** November 11, 2012, 08:40:15 am »

What puddings do you do at Christmas MF? We always have a fruit salad and cheesecake as well as the fly pudding, so there is something for us fussy eaters

Moptop · « **Reply #13691 on:** November 11, 2012, 08:43:21 am »

I am off to Singapore for a week with some girl friends.

Mama Fergie · « **Reply #13692 on:** November 11, 2012, 08:50:47 am »

I love Singapore Moptop. We were there for the grand prix in September.
Shopping, shopping, shopping!!!!

Amy we usually have a cheesecake, a pavlova and either individual creme brulee's or panacotta's and either fresh fruit platter and chocolate sauce or a fruit salad. We always have a minimum of 25 people so lots of food. I prepare the desserts in advance but fruit on the day.

Amy :-) · « **Reply #13693 on:** November 11, 2012, 08:53:12 am »

Sounds wonderful MF, can I come too?

I would come early and help you prepare

Mama Fergie · « **Reply #13694 on:** November 11, 2012, 08:56:54 am »

You are welcome Amy and would be great to have your help.

Poor Jade is working Xmas day as busy in restaurant.

What is fly pudding Amy?
