Finally! I got round to watching the all important Star Wars, A new hope, empire, and return of the jedi.

The Christmas just gone was not too different, my little sisters weren't there so I guess that is what was different.

We have re-arranged the bedroom slightly and bought new bedding.

I now want to re-make the curtains and make some new cushions.

My handbag got stolen so I now need to renew my passport. woo hoo.

I have kick started my eating habits, I now eat much more fruit and loads more vegetables, less sugar and less bread. I feel better for it. I need to increase the amount of water that I drink.

On the road
Big Sur
Vanity of Duluoz

I did an 8.6 mile bike ride last week. It thoroughly wore me out.

I never did go running with my running partner but I am defintely going to be doing the Lincoln 10k so I will have to start now!

So below is the recipe that I will use to make mulled wine. I thought that I would be able to get away with making mulled wine but I specfically put make wine....

jamie's mulled wine

method

This is dead easy to make and tastes like Christmas in a glass. It’s a lovely celebration of those traditional festive spices like cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. If you’ve got your own favourite spices, then feel free to add those to the pot too. Let everything cook away and warm up gently so the flavours have time to mingle with the wine. I like to leave my mulled wine ticking over on a really low heat and just ladle some into glasses as and when guests pop in.

Peel large sections of peel from your clementines, lemon and lime using a speed peeler. Put the sugar in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the pieces of peel and squeeze in the clementine juice. Add the cloves, cinnamon stick, bay leaves and about 10 to 12 gratings of nutmeg. Throw in your halved vanilla pod and stir in just enough red wine to cover the sugar. Let this simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved into the red wine and then bring to the boil. Keep on a rolling boil for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until you’ve got a beautiful thick syrup. The reason I’m doing this first is to create a wonderful flavour base by really getting the sugar and spices to infuse and blend well with the wine. It’s important to do make a syrup base first because it needs to be quite hot, and if you do this with both bottles of wine in there you’ll burn off the alcohol.

When your syrup is ready turn the heat down to low and add your star anise and both bottles of wine. Gently heat the wine and after around 5 minutes, when it’s warm and delicious, ladle it into glasses and serve.
