Mince mince mince!

So it seems both me and my baby are coming out on the other side of Christmas alive. Something that didn't always seem too likely... 

they were good..

But before the new year truly begins, I want to share the last Christmasy thing I did before my world crashed to pieces and things changed... Mince pies!

Weird thing: English mincemeat pies doesn't actually contain meat. In the mincemeat. There is no meat. 

Actually there used to be mostly meat in them an just a little of the raisins and spices to flavour, but now 500 years later the raisins have taken over the whole thing and that's just awful..! so I made some Tudor-style mince pies my self with all the left over meat bits, thadaa!
