Forget everything you have read about how to cook your Christmas turkey!
This is how to do it ?

I'm on Step 6, but just have to go and put the rotatoes in to poast!
Mind you, I am unexpectedly spending Christmas on my own instead of with the family, having developed mumps ... and there was I thinking you couldn't get them more than once but, despite suffering at Christmas more than 60 years ago, it seems that once again I get to enjoy them. Lucky me!

I always cooked the turkey for the family until my husband and I went to Spain for the winter. Christmas afternoon we found a phone box (no mobiles in 1977) to see how they got on. DiL said She prepared the turkey as per my instructions, put it into oven on automatic but failed to switch it on.
In those days you could not get turkey in Spain.

Reminds me of the last time I hosted Christmas - pretty sure we had got through two bottles of champagne before lunch! Thankfully my turn only comes round every three years and 2020 it will be my turn again....
