Why not just eat the butter without all the baking?

I made my first batch of mince pies this weekend¹. Which means, as I think about it, I’ve have eaten an entire 227g block of butter this weekend. It’s…probably best not to dwell on that.

We’re entering that quiet lull; a Saturday spent trying to clean up the house a little, then I’ll be on my own for a couple of days as I clean carpets and make up a new set of beds…and then my family arrives on the 18th. Which means I’m basically considering myself on holiday from that evening, even if I do have two more days of work left. Admittedly, on the last day, I plan on reviving the old British school custom of “Bringing in Games on the last day of term”, which is a bit more of a challenge when you work for a remote company.

Back to tidying up…
