Happy Christmas!

I don't have a particularly sweet tooth but this is the time of the year when I'm tempted to steal and lie in order to get my mouth around the Christmas cake mixing spoon.

I love Christmas cake in any form, cooked or raw and when Mrs DB isn't looking I am at my worst. I'm blessed with having a great cook for a wife. Her roast belly pork is to die for, the bacon sandwiches are extremely moreish, her beef and coriander is sooo desirable, sirloin roasts just melt in the mouth but her Christmas cake is way beyond ordinary accolades.

Ok let's get back to earth. It's true it's taken me a long time to train her, she is my own Eliza Doolittle and perhaps she is well past her sell by date but as long as she makes Christmas cake she's got a home for life.
