What's for Christmas dinner then?
« on: December 18, 2023, 10:16 »
I've got a chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto ham with pots and asparagus spears followed by raspberries and ice cream. For some reason I couldn't get Green Giant tinned asparagus so had to get some Epicure tins.
What's your plans?
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Turkey & Beef with all the trimmings, and Yorkshire puddings... yes, you read that right... and Yorkshire puddings!  :)

Locally sourced chicken breast, with local chipolatas (Korkers) and Tesco Finest streaky bacon! Veg will be Roast potatoes, own carrots from the deep trays outside, PSB and some steamed Birdseye stuff!

Not sure about afters, raas and icecream seems like a great idea! Maybe make an alcoholic trifle...

And there's some fabulous white Rioja around, it's a bargain at the moment, so that's the general picture!

Lily the dog will have a couple of those rawhide 'shoes', which may last more than ten minutes...

I'm going Greek Christmas, with a leg of lamb braised in mint gravy, broccoli, carrots and roasted spuds. HM raspberry cheesecake for pud, or mince pies and icecream for anyone who fancies that instead, or as well  :lol:
Have Mavrodaphne to go with it, plus a Spumante to go with pud  ;)

Avocado and prawn salad to start, followed by turkey, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots, sprouts and swede(mashed with butter and garlic).  For desert, we have a couple of individual puddings (which I don't like) but hopefully  Auntie has left me a corner of the advocaat ice cream box that I made yesterday to try.  I've never made it before, but a sherry before lunch and a snowball mid morning are de rigour here. Horaay, I got them round the right way - advocaat or advocado! :lol:

You're not being a bah humbug, Mrs Pea - it must be incredibly difficult for you both
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

We'll have beef as usual, with probably lemon tart or ice cream for pudding (my niece's request). I shall be cutting mine up very small as I had a bike accident about 3 weeks ago and will need dental treatment  :ohmy:

Nowt wrong with Yorkshire puddings on Christmas Day, we always have them and always did at home,  my nephew is taking a pile of them with him to his partner’s house to share this wonderful tradition with his ‘new’ family

Well after much discussion we’re having baked Camembert with antipasto meats etc & some bread for dipping in the cheese.
Roast ribs of beef, potatoes & parsnips, cauliflower cheese (already in the freezer ready), sprouts from the plot with bacon & roasted (I think, I’m not in charge lol ) peas & carrots, carrots are always cut into tree shapes -just on Christmas Day, so I hope my daughter remembers. Of daughter wants stuffing, so she’s making that, I’m doing the gravy as I’m cooking the beef here as daughter is out on Christmas morning.
Afters is a chocolate & ginger slice (I’m making this) & a cheese board. Mince pies & petit for biscuits if anyone wants them. And for me a brandy with my coffee  :D

We'll be having whatever Cara puts on the table  ;)

I believe turkey with our own veg but I'll be making bread sauce to go with it. Yes, I'm the only one who likes it apparently so it's all mine!

Son #2 is making Badaami murgh (chicken smothered in aromatic herbs and almonds) served with Emperor's pilaf.  He is a skilled cook!  I might help if he wants me to, we've made this together before.
