My dp and I are starting a new tradition this year. As Christmas Day itself is so manic with everything going on, we've decided to have a 'Pre Christmas' day to ourselves, when we'll exchange presents and have a bit of romantic 'together' time [wink] We've both booked the day off work and are spending it entirely together, at home, with no distractions (until 3pm anyway!)[smile] I'm very excited! So...what I'd like to do is have something easy & quick to prepare, (preferably in advance) that we can have for lunch. I've decided on home made mince pies and ice cream for pudding already....but my mind is a complete blank thinking of something to have before pudding! Any ideas please? TIA [smile]
