My mother keeps a marble rolling pin in the fridge when she is rolling out pastry and tries hard not to handle it. She also chills the metal bowl of her mixing machine.
My marble pastry board got broken 
Is Santa bringing a new one?
No,

Unlikely, it “got in the way”. I always wondered if the breakage was an accident…
Mine found it’s way under a TT. Narelle didn’t miss it 
Warm through needed,
Just had a cold one. Mega disappointed.
I put mine in for 8 mins @180, browned a little , then burnt the roof of my grid first bite…
They are ok
Made it back to Charlie’s, my first independent café. They had no mince pies last time I was here, but now they have.
Epic, despite the over dusting. Real spice, zing and booze, and buttery pastry. Best of the year.
I’ll be back.

No reviews without pricing please 
6lbs = 4 really well-stuffed batches of pies (2 dozen each time) 
… and you can control how much brandy (calvados, anyone?) goes in 
Never trust a pie that has ‘OD’d’ they are hidden, egotistical blighters full of trickery and image.

Fuck me that’s 96 pies - you’ll never eat all of them - best send some here!
£8.10 for flat white, pie, tea and some chocolate and orange shortbread thing. I’m guessing £2 for the pie. Worth it.
Now the bloody place has run out of them

I should have said, we went in first thing and bought the last ones they had.
