The Something Random Guide to: Making A Vodka Infusion., 12/05/05, Something Random 
This approach encourages me to eat a balanced diet and eat enough (to make up all the portions!) without counting cals so should stop me from losing (hopefully!)

Baking presents for christmas sounds like an excellent idea. I did all my family an assortment of brownies one year when I had got a box of different flavoured green and blacks chocolate as a free gift with something and they were very very popular. I have never actually made shortbread but always end up ideas of ideas for flavouring it so I reckon I should probably give it a go. I will think that a jammy dodger-type thing made with shortbread and blackcurrant jam would be a thing of culinary beauty!
Kola cube vodka sounds very intriguing, although I orginally read it as "Koala cube vodka" which sounded even more interesting! I don't have a good record with flavoured vodkas. One of my friends makes jelly baby vodka, he made a totally green one a few years ago and I drank jelly bean vodka and absinthe cocktails for most of the night... I was not well. It is now named "The Night Of The Green Death".

Once you have melted the jelly with hot water, let it cool but not set and add vodka.
One of my favourites is Jack Daniels & cola. You can use gelatine & diet cola, the only points in it is from the Jack Daniels :-D
Sorry Libby, we've taken over your diary with alcohol recipes!!

Haha, no worries Tesco actually sell cola cubes still, we used to have a retro sweet shop but it recently closed down sometimes you can find cola cubes in pick n mix if you're having no luck ^^
Think using this 'portion' idea instead of counting cals or such is a lot easier, less stressful and more sustainable, plus, it stops me feeling guilty about treats! ^^

Hazykay - I am liking the sound of those biscuits. Minus the icing though for me.
Libby - I must have missed where you explained the new "portion" idea rather than counting, but glad its working well for you so far
