Hi Giselle. The mincemeat recipe is under vkcb (vanilla kitchen cook book). I’d be interested to hear what you added and subtracted. Mine is different each year as I use different nuts and accents.

Yes, I think a single serving pot definitely makes a difference. I always get it a bit wrong (with tea too) if I’m just estimating thirds or quarters of a bigger pot. This way I know exactly how much coffee to put in. Also, coffee is pretty expensive so I don’t like to waste. The investment is definitely worth it and my pot actually makes two cups or one big mug.

Hello…. browsing your site looking for the mincemeat recipe to post my results from the mince pie making and I stumbled over this post….

Does the coffee taste better if you make it in a little cafetiere? May have to invest in one - I’m the only coffee drinker in the house and I’m making quarter pots at the moment! (well, to be fair, my husband is making me a quarter pot in the morning….).

Katie, I couldn’t see a way of fixing my blog and bloger were not very helpful, they just kept telling me it was fine so eventually I had no choice. The annoying thing is if I’d done it as soon as I started having problems I would have had a lot less work to do and retained a lot more links. I did find out that I should have left the old site up instead of deleting it, and permanently redirected to my new site. This way, technorati would have eventually reassigned my links. So for anyone else doing it, make sure you redo it that way so you don’t lose out on your technorati ranking.

Vegeyum - thanks, I had a little nibble on your blog too. I love my coffeepot too. My husband bought it for me about 5 years ago when he realised that I didn’t like the taste of the coffee when I just made 1/2 a pot in the large cafetierre. This is a single large mug, or 2 small ones. I also have a stove top espresso pot, and a filter coffee maker. Do you think I’m obsessed with coffee?

Well done with your transition. Takes quite a while to set up a new blog. Wordpress is a good choice, (except for their archiving). This is my first visit, but will be back.

Well done! It’s in my future - sometime. I’ll put it off as long as possible.
Graet job, though!

Annemarie, I think it’s right up there with death and divorce for stress.

Mansi, all updated. Thanks, and good luck with your move.
arfi, thanks. \I’m still a bit lost and keep rearranging, but I’ll get there

Andrea. Thanks. I may just take you up on that as there are a few things I’m clueless about.
Can’t you just bring the southern biscuits and the hazelnut shortbread?

I’ll eat them both, promise!

Love the new site! Welcome to WordPress. I’ve been doing my own WP hosting for two years now, so if you need any help or tips, just give me a buzz. As for the klatsch, I’m bringing homemade southern biscuits with maple cranberry butter. Or I can bring chocolate dipped hazelnut shortbread, whichever you prefer.
