Christmas Eve Supper

Steak and wedges...

Nachos, guacamole and soured cream. Chocolate log.

Shepherd's pie. Quite appropriate really! ?

Chicken stir fry, OH speciality, beautiful.

Leftover spag bol warmed up in the wok, lovely. Better get cracking.

Hardboiled egg and smoked salmon if we are up to it!

I'm toying with the idea of either a can of soup and a roll, or more salmon ( I had that for lunch). Although my DS is here so I will consult him before I decide.

Party food !!

There's just the 2 of us tonight, so it's White Christmas on the Tv and a plate of nibbles !

Perfect!

Cottage pie and cabbage then off in the wind and rain to see what the co-op have reduced ! My Christmas present from my Dad was a chest freezer ! dont know why but that is what i took delivery yesterday so i need to fill it with all the reduced food from the co=op.

Goodness, such dedication grannypiper! Rather you than me...

Macaroni cheese because the creme fraiche I use to make the cheese sauce had tomorrow as the use by date! DH is using the bread left from lunch to make garlic bread. We have cracked open the vino too.

We are all off to the local Chinese restaurant. It's a family tradition on Christmas Eve.

Christmas spice casserole with beef and venison. Eaten it already, enough to freeze for another meal and some for Mum.

Salad with a cut off the ham and some sausage rolls straight from the oven!

Just had M&S, southern fried chicken with salad and a few dates. Everyone else had chicken in a bun with trimmings.

I'm enjoying being hosted tonight by our youngest, who's single with no children, so it's a very grown up "do" with just the 3 of us. So far prosecco and a tasty bruschetta starter with pan fried seabass on the way....I'm not allowed anywhere near the kitchen...perfect

Stir fried vegetables,prawns, noodles and a chilli sauce courtesy of M&S. Very different from Xmas lunch and there is an unopened (so far) box of Thorntons waiting but not feeling like opening it yet!

Rib eye steak from M&S with fries and mushrooms. H sniffed all through and left more than he ate. Said he would rather have had a chicken breast. Alzheimer's has taken all his taste and appreciation. I wonder why I bother but do it for myself. Just roast chicken tomorrow to suit him?

Lasagne, garlic bread and melted chocolate dessert.

Enjoying a bit of down time having just helped DD with food prep for tomorrow. We had supper by the fire watching Carols from Kings. Fish Pie and a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Perfick!

My son has made tapas which was very nice, especially as it's rare for anyone else to cook. We normally have gammon Xmas eve. I used to do a curry with lots of dishes but stopped when I had to work Xmas eve. Nowadays my DGDs are often here on Xmas eve and they're not keen on curry though I'm retired now.

Just finished wrapping, why do I leave some until this time every year? Curry now, which DH made earlier. Happy Christmas everyone.

Hubby... carton of wild mushroom soup with cheese sandwich.
Me .... toast and honey followed by wagon wheel.
Saving ourselves for tomorrow

turkey curry, home made, beautiful.
