Hi deb if you slice and core your capsicums put them under the griller and turn when they have that grilled effect you'll get more done and less work except for removing the stem a s seeds aT the beginning , put them in jar with oregano garlic and add oil....here they go as soon as they come off the griller they are delicious as mumma and nonna used to make in calabria
@iannone39, Hi there! Thanks for sharing such a fantastic tip for preparing capsicums-your method sounds both efficient and delicious, just like a true family recipe handed down from mamma and nonna in Calabria. I appreciate the specific details about grilling and preserving them; it's a great way to enjoy the flavors all year round. I might just try this method next time! Thanks again for your input, it's wonderful to learn from such cherished family traditions. 😊
@SandraH09, Absolutely, lists really are the backbone of staying organized, especially during the busy holiday season! I'm glad Kevin's cannoli tasting expression gave you a chuckle-it seems like there's one in every family! It's always fun to hear about similar antics. 😂
Morning Deb, catching up on your Day 23 Vlog now. Those naughty little birds eating your fruit - I can imagine that would feel frustrating. My favourite time during Christmas day is feeling "present" - I'm not one to take a lot of photos anymore as I really enjoy the day immersing myself in conversations with everyone. Love the cannoli you made - and Kevin was funny! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family, loved ones and friends 💕
Hi Deb and comedian Kevin lol. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and an amazing new year. Your vlogs are always fantastic so thank you and I am excited to see what the new year brings you Deb. 💐💕
@karenlittle3832, Hi Karen! Thank you so much for your festive wishes and for enjoying the vlogs-it really means a lot to us! Comedian Kevin and I are both thrilled to have such wonderful support from viewers like you. We're also excited about the new year and can't wait to share more adventures with you. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a truly amazing new year as well! 💐💕
Awww, I have a paw paw tree and have trouble with fruit bats and possums getting to the ripe ones before I have a chance. So, I feel your pain. I’m glad you still managed to rescue a small amount of fruit. It’s frustrating though, I know. 😖 The peaches look good. You did well! Wow!!! You’ve really achieved a lot on your list! Great job! You’ve been working hard. You deserve the day off on the day to just enjoy the festivities. Sounds like it’s going to be wonderful! Ohhh the cannoli look sooo good! I’m coming to your place next year! Ha ha! 😂 Yum! 😋 Your Christmas apron is adorable too! Very cute design. I say “arm-ond” which I think is very Australian. Yes! I know that comedian, Michael McIntyre. He’s great!! 👍🏼 There are so many good stand up comedians from the UK…Joe Lycett, Sarah Millican…they are young and new to me and have me in stitches!! Lots of talent! Yes, I’m on track with my preparations too. Gifts all wrapped and cooking mostly prepped. I’m making rocky road tomorrow morning which should be fairly easy. Hopefully it will be set by the evening so I can cut it up and put it in little bags as extra gifts for family. 😊 The day is so close now! Exciting! ❤💚
@megsfromaustralia8970, It sounds like you’ve got quite the wildlife adventure with your paw paw tree! It’s always a challenge but also part of the charm of having such lovely trees in the garden. I’m glad you can relate to the fruit-saving struggles. 😖 Thank you for your kind words on my progress-it really does feel good to check those items off the list. And you’re absolutely welcome to join for cannoli next year, the more the merrier! 😂 Your Christmas plans sound wonderful too, especially the rocky road; what a delightful treat to give as gifts! My son Isaac has been finessing his technique on rocky road too, unfortunately it's so good already it's to tempting in the fridge and we devour it very quickly 😆 Thanks for the heads up on new to me UK comedians, I'll be sure to look them p and add them to my viewing repertoire 😍. It’s great to hear you’re all set for the holiday. Here’s to a fantastic Christmas filled with laughter and delicious treats! Exciting times indeed! ❤💚
Wow Deb you always seize the day, you have such a zest for life and it’s very motivating. Thank you for the videos this year & Merry Christmas to you and your family 🤗
@mollyvflynn, Thank you for your feedback! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cooking segment on charring veggies. I'll definitely plan more cooking videos in the future-it's always fun to share different techniques and recipes. Stay tuned for more culinary adventures! 😊
@mollyvflynn, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you find motivation in the videos. It's comments like yours that truly make all the effort worth it. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well! Here's to seizing many more days together in the coming year. 🤗🎄
That canolli looks yummy. You are such a great cook. We covered all of our trees this year and we collected about 2kg of cherries. I afraid to look at the apricots yet. I think they have been picked over by the birds even with a net 🙄. Ill check them later when the rain stops. Thanks darling for this vlog 😘😀🎁 xx

Love apricots ❤😅😊 Saw Jim beam on your kitchen bench. I've had 3 today 😂😅, cans. Can't have any christmas eve as going to carols at church, next door. 6.30pm. We use to go to church christmas day when we were children though.
@margaretgreen2826, You're always welcome, Margie! I'm just as excited for Santa's arrival-only two more sleeps indeed! Big hugs back to you, and I'll see you in the next vlog tomorrow. Take care and stay cozy! It's bucketing down here 🤗💕
I have a question about the Queen Scream APF in the blue bottle that you uses and it gave your face a pretty glow. Did you put it on top of your makeup or underneath. I tried some today in Sephora, and it didn't do much for my skin. Perhaps it was because I put it over my makeup. Thank you. Love the cooking segments you do because it's very quick and looks easy peasy.❤
Interesting cannoli. Tbh I prefer the Italian way of making them, no ricotta, just a good quality thick Italian custard…yum I can eat heaps! Dipped in some pistachios is nice too. Those caps look devine. 😋
@leezacarroll2250, The Italian custard version are delicious, especially with pistachios. It's great to hear different takes on traditional recipes, and it definitely gives me ideas for future cooking experiments. Thanks again for your input! 😋
Hi Deborah thank you for the video. Well your getting thru your list. Love Cannoli could eat them all day. Kevin made me laugh when tasting the Cannoli. Have a good day ❤
@maureen8966, Hi Maureen! You're very welcome-I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It's great to hear you love cannoli as much as we do; they're definitely hard to resist. Kevin's antics are always a hit, and I'm happy he could bring a smile to your face. Thanks for your continuous support, and I hope you have a fantastic day too! ❤️
Deborah, we have a nectrine tree in our back garden. We havent had a single one as the birds and bats come at nigh and scoff the lot. Gees anyone would think we planted thre tree for them.
LOL, I feel your pain, it's so frustrating. I wouldn't mind at all if they just pecked into one and ate it before starting on the next one, but they peck at all of them so then there's none left for us 😆
@@Deborahafter50 I so agree with you, selfish little things, Just as well they are pretty. My mother had a fig tree once and put a net over it, to keep the birds away, until one got stuck inside. poor thing I think we tried to rescue it and set it free, but it was so scared it died
LOl, thanks Jasmine, unfortunately I left it too late this year and by the time I realised the apricots were ripening it was too late 🙄 I hadn't even realised we had fruit on the trees, we'd cut them back so hard last year I though the new branches wouldn't bear any fruit. Oh well, there's next year 😚😚
@alanaharis948 LOL Alanna, I totally understand the attraction and need for them. Without a good list I'm lost. Thanks for commenting, I'm so glad this video resonated with you. 😍😍
Hi Deborah beaut video gosh you got a lot done. Disappointing with your fruit trees, how annoying those birds are. Your cannoli looks delicious. Great planning is working. Unfortunately my Christmas isn't going very well. My wonderful brother is in palliative care in Hospital. Going in everyday to see him. So sad. Thanks for your lovely video always cheers me up. Much love.
@marilynhodgkinson5299, Hi Marilyn, thank you for your kind words about the video, and I'm so glad it could bring you a little cheer during such a tough time. I'm truly sorry to hear about your brother's situation; my thoughts are with you and your family as you navigate this challenging period. It's heart-wrenching, and I hope you find some comfort in the moments you spend with him. Sending you much love and strength. 💕

I was just wondering where you got that star light. It's really nice
Hi Fabi, I got it from Ikea, a couple of years ago, I just looked on their website and it doesn't look like they stock it any more, sorry.
Yum I like cannoli.. 😋
luv grilled capsicum 🫑
🥰❤️🥰❤️
Thank you! 🥰❤️🥰❤️ The cannoli shells were a real treat. 😊
❤️🥰
Hay Deborah you should put a cover over your trees I love your pets 🎉😊
LOl, thanks Jasmine, unfortunately I left it too late this year and by the time I realised the apricots were ripening it was too late 🙄 I hadn't even realised we had fruit on the trees, we'd cut them back so hard last year I though the new branches wouldn't bear any fruit.

I am the queen of lists,almost OCD
@alanaharis948 LOL Alanna, I totally understand the attraction and need for them. Without a good list I'm lost. Thanks for commenting, I'm so glad this video resonated with you. 😍😍
And there's me thinking cannoli was strictly Italian😂
LOL, the Maltese borrowed them and then enhanced them 😉 a bit like the italians with pasta from noodles 😆
