Crimbo Dinner

I do the Christmas cooking for my family this year it will be more or less the same as every year

Starter
Smoked salmon and home made bread or,
A selection of cheeses and home made bread

Main
Roast Turkey or, Roast Duck
Braised red and savoy cabbage (the green and red is so Christmasy)
Brussels sprouts
Roast potatoes
Boiled new potatoes
Stuffing two types
Home made sausage and fresh vegetable stuffing/meat loaf
Roast carrots
Roast parsnips
Home made gravy (Christmas is the time for bisto)
Piggies in blankets

Pudding
Christmas pudding and custard or,
Trifle

And all munched down with plenty of mulled apple juice.

 

That's just the dinner thiers also glazed ham, sausage rolls, stolen, Christmas cake, chocolate and orange mini cakes, cheese and onion rolls, mince pies, ham tarts, ginger bread, and cinnamon swirls all in ofter order for nibbling as well. Yeah I'm starting to see why I am always the families cook I go a bit mental over broad

 

Opps seems I missed out a not, Christmas is not the time for bisto.

I'll just go and spank myself for getting it wrong

 

At home without Lew

Just me and my son and beans on toast . .....

 

This year ... will be out for dinner with Dad , brother and sister in law and nephews .... first year without mum ..
oh not having turkey ... will be a juicy steak and ribs for me ...
Not great for the staff working Christmas Day but saves all that washing up !

 

The usual madness here - us, kids, grandkids, mother-in-law, turkey, beef, roast potatoes, veggies, pudding (with brandy butter, of course), presents, booze, snoozing and, yes, real gravy
