I can't really crack open a bottle of decent Prosecco when there's just me here, can I?

Yes.

We have one of those gizmos to keep champagne fizzy.
Otherwise pop a teaspoon (handle down of course tchgrin) in the top of the bottle and it keeps it quite fizzy.

Otherwise take it up to bed with you (on the grounds that if you drink it downstairs you may not get up the stairs)

Thanks for the tip about the Waitrose pastry, otherwise Tesco does one with Normandy butter, ready-rolled)
and the M&S little bottles of Prosecco

No! Those are grandchildren.

Aren't gizmos those cute little things that you must keep dry, because if they get wet, grow teeth and a temper? ?

Galen Wed 16-Dec-15 17:08:37

I've one of those gizmos as well. They work really well

Jane10 Wed 16-Dec-15 16:54:25

I like the M&S little bottles of Prosecco......

Of course! I have some kind of gizmo that keeps leftover fizz fizzy.

I can't say whether it works or not, because we've never had any left over. tchgrin

annsixty Wed 16-Dec-15 16:49:38

Just me then? tchsmile

Have you not heard the saying jings

A bottle of Prosecco is not just for Christmas

It would be almost cruel to make the poor thing wait.

Lakeland have nice little jar of Prosecco gummy bears which would slip over one at a time??

Why does it need to be justified? #justdoit

annsixty Wed 16-Dec-15 16:20:13

I can't justify it for two of us so I think the answer is :no.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 16-Dec-15 16:14:00

True. tchgrin

You never know who MIGHT drop in. jings You'd be all ready for them.

Alima Wed 16-Dec-15 16:10:38

You could try using your teeth on it. Oh no, best not, that's beer bottles isn't it!

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 16-Dec-15 15:53:36

My pastry only stretched to 19. The blessed Saint Delia said I should have made 3 dozen?!!! That's 36 the last time I worked it out. How?! I used the right sized cutters, and perfectly normal patty tins. tchhmm Impossible.

And the raw pastry, which I normally love, tasted really boring. So much for lard and butter. tchhmm

God bless Mr Waitrose and his ready rolled stuff. Cos that's where I'm heading with the next lot.

Meanwhile, back to the original question. tchsmile
