Christmas 2004 Party Monday 13th December

What a great fun evening we had, everyone was very well behaved with the gift swap!

A great big thank you to Terry for being a fabulous hostess and letting us all run riot in her house.

Hang on another day or so and I'll put the photos from Monday evening up here as soon
as I unload them from the camera.

Fiona and Betty sample the homemade wine	Marnie is a believer!	Oh what is this asks Kathy, COUNTED cross stitch	So Doris decides to steal off Kathy to save her having to count
and Kathy gets to choose again. Oh my, what a load of stitching bits and bobs	Janice enjoying the contents of the purple bag, but not for long ...	Because Fiona decides to steal it!	So Janice gets to pick again
Just what Firne was looking for nudge nudge wink wink!	Look what Terry got, she says no-one else will like it one bit	OK so I think Terry has a clue about Anne Marie's gift!	Oh just what Margaret was looking for, a tree decoration to make
Now Susie gets to check out her goodies	Stitching sisters	Smile for the camera	Oh and is this another new member coming in to join us?
Check out the socks!	OK girls, not very merry yet, we must need more wine	Seductive Susie with her lovely long braids	The three wise monkeys?

English Sherry Trifle --------------------- Sherry 1 large Jelly Roll (or pack of small ones) Two packs strawberry jello Large can mixed fruit in fruit juice 1 litre milk Custard powder & sugar enough to make 1 litre of custard 500ml Whipping Cream Sprinkles for top Slice jelly roll into half inch slice and drizzle with as much sherry as you like Strain can of mixed fruit reserving the juice Make up jello with just enought boiling water to dissolve the crystals and add the fruit juice. Top up with water to the correct amount. Put to one side overnight until the jello has set Make up a THICK custard with either less milk or more custard powder Allow to cool slightly then pour over the jello, fruit, etc. Allow custard to go totally cold and set. Just before serving whip the cream and spread over the custard. Sprinkle with edible decorations as required. Eat copious amounts until stopped by guilt or other family members wanting some too!
