A recipe i tried a few weeks ago, with some trepidation. it is not as full-on peanut as i imagined it might be, nor as sweet as it suggests, thankfully. If you are inclined to giving guests a full-fat experience do try it out; it is a more sophisticated flavour than the title suggests, and the texture is a delight. And it looks good on a plate.
Nigella's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake
It is Christmas eve, and i am (happily) confined indoors with a (unhappily) chest infection. There are roaring fires, a 28lb ham in the fridge (17 people to feed this week) and the children's presents are all wrapped. My boyfriend is many miles away but i am enjoying the pang of missing him more (dare i say it) than the pleasure of having him here when i am beyond kissing or sharing my bed. I am sore and tired, happy to curl with the cats while the children enjoy their grandparents.
For those of you who are with family; I wish you good cheer and fortitude, and a large glass of something special.
For those of you who are missing family; a large glass of something special and my commiserations.
I have a twinge of both myself; missing several loved ones, but grateful to be with those that are here.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas xxx

And a Merry Christmas to you, too, Carnalis!
Thank you for all the posts, and the culinary advice, and the glimpses into your life.
And I hope you feel better soon, too.
Roll on 2011!

Merry Christmas Miss Carnalis, and feel better soon! I love reading your blog, though I don't comment very often...
A beautiful cake by the way.
A very Merry Christmas to you, m'dear. You may be lonely tonight, but you're never alone! May you have visions of somewhat naughty sugar plums dancing in your head tonight!

That cake looks extremely delicious! Merry Christmas to you!
What a year. Thanks from a benign lurker for the exposure of the sleeve upon which your heart lives. Despite the cold and confusion you seem to be ending the year in a better space than where it started.
Good luck and happy Xmas
