    Couple of things. 1. Crème brûlée needs to go through a strainer before pouring into the ramekins. It gets rid of the foam from whisking and any possible scrambled bits of egg. 2. The easiest way to do the bath water is to fill up the pan with water first, put it in the oven and then turn the oven on. The water will be the right temp by the time you’re done with the custard and the oven is done preheating. You can place the ramekins in the hot water with the jar lifter with the pan already in the oven. That way it minimizes any possible accident of spilling the entire dessert and/or hot water.

    Hi Becky, I noticed you threw out the vanilla. All you have to do is give them a wash off and pop them into the oven while on on a tray to give them a short dry out and you can put them in sugar, making vanilla sugar out of them or cook them into something, like fruit. Cut the pods up, the continue to give off favour and the whole pod, even if the centre is scraped out is eatable so please don't just throw them out!

    I know changing camera angles is a pain but I would have loved to see the chickens when you gave them the pumpkin scraps. I miss seeing your girls! I’m looking forward to the new chicken run that you told us about! It’ll give us a chance to see their antics again! 😂

    When making a hot punch or mulled wine, a good idea is to serve it from a slow cooker. It will keep it warm without burning it, and doesn't need watching, also makes the room smell lovely 😊

    Quick tip Becky, measure your table and the extension table with a tape measure then add 10-12 inches for overhang and when you go shopping look at the table cloth measurements. Once you do that, put it in the note section on your phone and you will always have it with you. I also put my lists on the note section on my phone as well.

    • @hdavis1291

    You did a beautiful spread! I think the most important key to entertaining well is choosing menu items that you can either make ahead, as you did, or things that you can prep out into disposables (I save rotisserie chicken containers for this, lol) and only require day-of grilling or roasting type stuff. It’s great to have one or two really unique or stand out items. I’d say your spiced drink would fit that bill, but your entire menu and decorations are all pretty amazing. It looks very welcoming and warm & cozy. You did great! 😊

    Helpful tip for tablecloths, measure your table and add one foot on each side, or two feet to the total length and two feet to the total width. That will get you the perfect sized tablecloth. I suggest measuring with the leaf in since you usually put the leaf in when you use the tablecloths 💜

      I agree, I have grown these before and they get quite big. I do not think it was fully ripe. Besides it is a squash not a pumpkin

    Becky, you gave me another memory and smile in this video, Thank You. My husband and I married in '91 your plastic wrap gave the memory. We did our own wedding. We purchased that same plastic wrap. What makes me smile and laugh is. I am still using that same box over 32 years later. I guess I bought enough for the wedding. And the Marriage.

    You can make your own pumpkin seeds from the ones you scooped out! They're easy and delicious!

    Add a star anise to your mulled juice, it really brings up the flavor. You can also make mulled cider or wine in a crock pot, just be sure to use it on low and to never let the wine boil, or you'll boil off the alcohol.

    Hi Becky, if you’re looking for tablecloths you can customize your own by going to a fabric shop and choosing something you love and have it cut to your tables specific measurements. I have done this over here in Australia and my beautiful Mum has hemmed it for me ❤

    I add plain and flavored cranberry juice to my iced tea frequently. I add it to both black tea and green tea. This spiced cranberry juice sounds like a nice holiday version for my tea.

    This looks a great dinner party to have I love the recipes. I think I will try the spiced cranberry juice. I just want to say thank you for all you have taught me over the last couple of month. I have 9 family members coming for Christmas dinner, I have all my meat in the freeze. I’ve prepared all my veg for the soup and for the main course, I have also cooked my mash potatoes and used a cookie scoop to make balls and have flash freezes them. Now all I have to think about is sticks for gravy and dessert. Thank you for inspiring this old dog to get organised x

    A good idea for the nuts in your salad is to let your guest sprinkle over their salad in case anyone has a nut allergy like me. I can’t even eat it if someone cut something with the same knife as a nut or I’ll be sick (best case scenario) all night. It’s sooo hard to feel safe when eating anything I don’t make myself. Pumpkin seeds are my go to for crunch!

    Everything looks delicious and your flowers for the table are so pretty. I woukd suggest you choose a different green element for your arrangements. Eucalyptus is such a strong scent that it will interfere with the delicious scent of your food. The eucalyptus woukd be lovely in your living room. The same is true of scented candles.

    You can use mineral oil to oil up your wood cutting boards. It makes them look like new and conditions them beautifully.

    Hey becky love the video ❤. If you really like that table cloth, you can buy 2 of them and attach them together using Fabric tapes. I usually do that for my curtains the Fabric tape i use i just need to stick it and iron it and its done.
    Loads of love ❤❤❤❤

    Becky! I just saw you put those custard cups from the hot water onto your granite countertop! Makes my feet tingle!
    By my way of thinking, just like you wait 5 minutes after you take the cover off your canner before you take the jars out, I would wait 5 minutes before taking those custard cups out of the hot water. Then I would also put them on at least a towel if not a cooling rack to cool to room temperature before covering them and putting them in the fridge.
    Just my honest opinion.
    Love love love your videos. ❤

    Hi Becky, I don't know if you'll see this but I wanted to share something with you. I tend to wear gloves when handling hot pumkins and squash. Some times I use oven mitts and use a second pot holder. And I weight till it's cooled if I have time. I like that you waited for it to cool. May you have a blessed day.

    You can make double use of your vanilla bean pods, no need to throw them away. Rinse them off thoroughly to get rid of the cream, then dehydrate them and grind them and use them to add awesome vanilla flavour to dishes that normally use vanilla bean paste.
