43. The Festive Feast Part 3 - Sweet Endings, Custard Skins & A Very Aldi Christmas

A Girl, a Gay & a Thermo

Show Notes

We've reached the grand finale: desserts - the true reason anyone wears stretchy pants on Christmas Day. This week, we're dishing up a slightly non-traditional plum pudding, a decadent Black Forest Yule log, the classic Pav that sparks family debates, custard in all it's silky glory (Bronte's kink is custard skin), and of course we get knee deep in trifle. Do you mince pie or gingerbread? Can you be bothered? And if you've absolutely cooked your run time and have next to nothing planned, we'll show you how Aldi can save the day. Pour the custard, pass the cherries and end the trilogy with us on a sweet high.

School holidays are FINALLY over and Erin is hanging by a thread. Between endless sleepovers, children who apparently never leave (and have individual egg orders), and Dad landing back in hospital, there’s not much left in the tank.

THE BACHELOR’S HANDBAG Australia’s most reliable dinner date is getting the episode it deserves. But first… obviously we spend a completely reasonable 12 minutes reviewing Kylie’s Grand Final performance before remembering this is allegedly a food podcast. Then we get down to chook business: Coles vs Woolies — who’s got the superior bird? What are we actually DOING with a cooked chook? Viral chicken recipes worth trying Chicken lasagne Peking chook pancakes French onion chicken pie Nagi’s Buffalo Chicken Dip — so rich you may want 000 on standby Because there is SO much more to the humble supermarket chook than sandwiches and sad Tuesday-night salad.

THIS ONE TIME, AT BAND CAMP… Yes, Erin actually plays the flute. Yes, she went to band camp. And yes, this week’s chat about our kids getting into trouble somehow turned into Erin & Bronte confessing their own school misdemeanours. Also on this week’s completely sensible food podcast...
