Fancy a dip?

Shakespeare wrote in Romeo and Juliet..."Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers." I just took a look in the fridge at my lemon possets.

I thought I would just run a finger around the edge to try one. Then I couldn't stop myself. I dipped a finger straight in. Then there was no stopping me. I ate a whole one.

Luckily my dinner party guests won't notice as I made two extra....

Don't you hate it when you decide on a meal that means you won't have to cook like crazy. Then you're too organised and end up blogging twenty minutes before your guests arrive?

We're having smoked salmon blinis, steak with a blue cheese and pear salad, wedges and then lemon posset with spiced winter fruits (one short).

It feels very extravagent mid week....but hey...it's Christmas.
