If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake

Tonight, I have been mostly eating... mince pies.

Baked by my own fair hand no less. Would anyone like one? It's a bit of a tradition of mine to make a few mince pies at this time of year. I love them, but I loathe the ones you buy in the shops, the pastry is too sweet you see. Many people who have tasted my mince pies over the years have complimented me on them. Some have even gone so far as to ask how I get the pastry so perfect. I just smile sweetly and tell them the secret is to have cold hands when you make it. I'd like to convince you all that I'm a domestic goddess but it's all a ruse. God bless Jus-Rol frozen shortcrust pastry.

I have no morals.

And I must stop eating the bloody things or there will be none left for my work Christmas snack party tomorrow lunchtime.
