Oh George!

I started making a big Christmas-style cake this afternoon. I put all the fruit to soak in brandy - a bit more, okay, maybe twice as much, than it said in the recipe as 6 tablespoons didn't look enough - and then I put 1 pound of butter in a large mixing bowl with brown sugar. Then I left the bowl on the work surface while the butter softened.Which is where George came across it. Note how he's carefully licked out ALL the pound of butter and left the sugar ...

If he gets us up in the middle of the night he will be doubly unpopular.

Oops! George is in the doghouse. is he? Is he looking suitably chastened...or is he grinning with his tongue lolling out...

Oh George indeed. Are you sure he is not a goat? Well he won't get diabetes.
