Hi David
Champers is slang for champagne and plum duff :
Traditionally steamed in muslin cloth, the rich, dark and full-of-fruit pudding was boiled for quite some time then left to hang in the safe until the big day ie Christmas Day. Its kind of like a bolied Christmas cake. We usually only have it on Christmas Day. No idea why its called plum duff because there aren't any plums in it.
Hey the Thai Mango Shrimp sound fantastic. Bet ya had nothing left over!!
Thanks for explaining that Matt. I'd never heard of it before! Is Christmas cake the same as Christmas pudding? I've had Christmas pudding before. I liked it! But I was under the impression it was pudding and it wasn't. It was like a cake. Most Americans have heard of Christmas pudding but they really don't know what it is.
Late lunch -- Fish taco, guacamole salad, sweet tea
Snack -- juice and pretzels
You had fish tacos Shasta? You should talk to Lee about that! She likes them too!
http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,2598.0.htmlI didn't make anything special today. I had a tossed salad with grilled chicken strips for dinner. It was pretty good. Tomorrow I am frying 5 chickens for my Halloween party. I do it every year. It's one of those New Year's traditions. I will be making some crispy and some extra crispy chicken. I'm going to place the chicken in baskets so people can grab a piece whenever they feel like it. There will be some chips and dip and other goodies available too.
