Say nothing and use them as dumplings in a day or two.Stupid idea to do some home baking on Christmas Eve not gone as smoothly as they make it look on telly.
Glad I bought some brioche buns as backup , my first ever attempt at making my own bread rolls has resulted in a tray full of rock hard unrisen round ' things'!
Will be the first Xmas Dinner I've not spent with my mum

How heartening that residents of a village without a pub can find something worthwhile like that to do with their spare time.
It’s wife-swapping central here in Bednall.
Had planned to get the electric carving knife on them, to crumb up for the birds. Just come down from the shower to find hubby has crunched his way through one of them. Reckoned they taste ok ( Not liking waste, he'll eat anything)Say nothing and use them as dumplings in a day or two.
Chuck them in the blender/food processor and turn them into breadcrumbs *treacle tart beckons* Or bread sauce for tomorrow. Or croutons, or... I should stop now lolHad planned to get the electric carving knife on them, to crumb up for the birds. Just come down from the shower to find hubby has crunched his way through one of them.

I’m extremely proud of our village.
Over the last 5 weeks we had a little Christmas stall on my friends drive.
We made cakes, my friends made holly wreaths, Bednall calendars and Christmas cards.
We asked the village for gift items to sell. The quality of things arriving daily was wonderful.
People brought things to sell and people spent money.
All this unmanned, out daily with an honesty box we raised ££3644.46 for Katharine House Hospice.

This is on top of the request that the church warden made for donations to the food bank. On top of the donations of biscuits, chocolates and Christmas puddings the village donated £1383.50 in cash which was used to purchase approx 1200 meals (tinned meat, tinned potatoes and tinned vegetables, tinned fruit and custard.)
Here is the food from Bednall being donated to the food bank.
