I'm planning to make bowl-sized Yorkshire puds in my grandma's tins and fill them with bits of turkey in gravy. Veg on the side.

You?

I'm exhausted!

It's only Him Indoors and me but I made my own version of Cumblerland sauce to go with the gammon which is in the oven with roasting honey parsnips, cauliflower cheese and jacket potatoes.
The kitchen looks clean and tidy and I thought I deserved a glass of wine

Him Indoors is finding something interesting to do on his laptop.

(He's usually very good)

Not sure where comedy came from! I meant completely.

DH pronounced the meal a success - well done me.

Now for Gwen's Boxing Day Trifle.
Sorry, my trifle!

My lot liked the truffle cheddar too, Phoenix but I wasnt so keen.

No leftovers in my fridge apart from enough for a turkey sandwich, but I ate at DS ‘s house today: steak pie, and a doggy bag I have brought home for tomorrow.

KatyK I liked 'comedy over the top' - describes the happy over-catering for friends perfectly. smile

Boxing Day lunch for me was a slice of Sweet Potato Sourdough Bread, with a schmear of cream cheese and a poached egg - one of my favourite meals with any sort of greens, at any time.

Boeuf Bourgignon and DGD made a lemon merangue pie. The beef dish was made and frozen a month ago, so it has been an easy eating reaxing day and I am well on my way through one of the lovely books I reeived for Christmas.

We had leftover pie, everything including the cranberry sauce put in a pie dish on Christmas day, filled with fresh gravy today and a filo pastry lid stuck on top, even better than Christmas dinner

Yes Bradfordlass It was very apt!

M0nica Fri 27-Dec-19 12:26:36

grannypiper today is the day we have 'Christmas pie'. Containing, as you say everything including the Cranberry sauce and, in our case covered with a short crust pastry lid.
