December Meme - 13th

Playing catch up again. There are still heaps of days left if you want to ask me something. Go here to leave your question/s./

For milly_gal :

Do you have any wishes for the future, what do you wanna be when you grow up/ ;)

My wishes for the future are the usual of most people, I think. Health, happiness, to be surrounded by dear family and good friends, but not just for me but for everyone I love as well, both in RL and here in LJ-land and our amazing SPN family.

I'd also love to be financially independent, to own my own home, to not worry so much about living pay-to-pay and to be able to afford to travel to every SPN convention anywhere in the world and, ideally, to be rich enough to take a few really close fandom friends with me.

But, but I don't wanna grow up!!!!! In a lot of ways I feel very much the same as I did when I was a teenager. I still can't believe that I'll be hitting the big 5-0 in just a few years. I wonder where the last 3 or 4 decades have gone.

Share your favorite holiday recipe!

As I mentioned in an earlier post for this meme, my favourite holiday deserts are Christmas pudding and brandy custard. Whilst I don't have the exact recipes my nana used, these are pretty close, including wrapping the pudding in calico, hiding silver threepenses and sixpenses (pre-decimal coins) in the pudding mixture to be found and making it weeks before Xmas to really develop the tastes and flavours, especially of the alcohol.
