Ideally we would do them earlier but we already have a car full of things. We make small loafpan sized ones. Half will be frozen for next year. They age very well that way. Oh, and we douse ours with bourbon, they are afterall Southern fruitcakes.

We'll need to see "before and after" pics of the house when it's finished, like they do on TV. 1 hour ago, Headstall said: But no pressure. Well here's a photo I took on Wednesday of the lower part of the back garden, near the house itself: (I think there's a stone built garden shed under all those bushes on the right. It may need re-roofing once I rescue it, though ) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we do the fish, either haddock or cod, fries, cole slaw and I want malt vinegar rather than lemon. Halibut is the best, but haddock and cod are good too... and yes, malt vinegar and lemon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my area, it's typically haddock. I love it with malt vinegar too, but I also like fish with lemon. Malt vinegar with fries is delicious. *high fives WQ* 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
