Can be dishwater dull!!!!

December 2 nd and a new chapter headed " A pasta soup for Xmas". 
Mr Slater says "........chicken noodle soup can be good and it can be dishwater dull...."  
Let's see how mine turns out. 
Angel hair noodles, chicken broth and chives. 
Well this was delicious - (buying angel hair noodles was more difficult than anticipated as they come under various names)
And "A cake is not just for Christmas". 
About Christmas cake Mr Slater says "......almost everyone likes at least one layer of it but few.....like them all". 
How true this is - a fact revealed as one collects the plates with one or another layer of the iced Xmas cake left behind. 
The second recipe today is an alternative to the traditional cake. Chocolate hazelnut slice. 
Chocolate and hazelnuts - a perfect combo for me. 
Apart from having to add a lot more sugar to make my praline this recipe worked like a dream and was so so delicious. Quite spectacular to serve too with its topping of shines hazelnuts in a crisp praline.
