There'll be enough for at least one more person, sodapop ?

Meanwhile, Minibaggs just crisscross cut a Camembert cheese still in its box (the lower half) and heated it in the oven so we dipped chunks of bread into it and dabbed on cranberry sauce. Mr Baggs felt sorry for people who have lactose intolerance: "they really do miss out, don't they?"

No left overs! Argh. All eaten yesterday despite huge quantities of veg cooked.

I've just had Christmas pud and custard. No room for it yesterday (must be me that ate all the veg!).

We were away yesterday, being well looked after so no leftovers here.

I'm cooking the gammon I should have cooked on Monday (but I felt grotty) with jacket potatoes and cauliflower cheese.
I've just iced the Christmas cake!

Bubble and squeak, cold roast beef, sausage meat stuffing, the left over choc log and lemon drizzle cake.
DH is out, he will come home expecting home made chips, but will be disappointed as there is enough left over veg, sorry.
(We usually have home made chips on Boxing Day as a treat)

I actually did mean bubble and squeak

No left over veg, only two of us yesterday so did normal meal amounts.
So today will be 'picky' meal as my son always calls it - cold turkey, gammon, mashed potato and salad. Various pickles etc. Sausage rolls/pork pie/scotch eggs. Buffet style to pick bits themselves.

Cold turkey and ham with chips and fried eggs. One of the best bits of Christmas.

We were supposed to have bubble and squeak but there are no veg left despite my doing sprouts and honey carrots in huge quantities.

So, potatoes and onions fried together served with gammon, cold turkey, pickles and the pigs in blankets I had the foresight to hide.

Bubble and squeak for tea with daughters home made turkey and ham pie. Mince pies and chocolate log with brandy cream for afters. We had kedgeree for brunch, a Boxing Day tradition every year also made by DD1 who is a very good cook. ( much better than me although I did do home made cheese straws as a nibble) .

Bubble and squeak also with the leftover potatoes and sprouts to have with cold turkey.

Bubble and steak made from leftover vegs with cold turkey. Homemade mince pies with cream.

Cold gammon and jacket spud with pickles etc.

Back to normal here as I visited sister and therefore don't have left-overs. After stepping on the bathroom scales and groaning I must shed a few pounds. No more treats.

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?
