At the moment ( 24th December ) I just took out the roast for those who wish to have meat.

I have not yet taken photos of the fresh salmon and am still preparing the plating for the prawns (langostinos), the salad and also the deviled eggs & canapes !!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks delicious!

We are having our Christmas dinner tonight - and yes, the turkey is being cooked today!

We’re having beef sausages, mash and beans.

Masala lamb chops, spicy roasted new potatoes, tomato and red onion salad and raita. With maybe a mince pie and brandy cream to follow and a glass or two of

25th December - Monday.

Merry Christmas To All ..

Well, definitely shall be back to normal Tuesday !

Christmas Lunch was quite light ..

Thanks to Christmas Day plans going awry late last night (COVID related) no turkey dinner today 😩. Instead we’ll be having cold gammon (cooked the other day), jacket potatoes and homemade coleslaw.
We’ll be having a ‘proper’ Christmas dinner chez dd tomorrow though.

Chicken Rogan Josh, Pilau rice, naan bread, vegetable samosas, for lunch. Nothing for tea.

26th Tuesday.

Boxing Day Lunch.

27th Wednesday.

Back to normal with leftovers .. And fish for lunch.

Ham, egg and chips. I also have loads of bubble and squeak ,in the freezer, which I made yesterday from left over veg. Love it with bacon and a fried egg.

Left over today. With apple and cranberry crumble and custard. We would have had left over trifle but the DGC eyed it as they left so have gone off with 3/4 of a bowl of trifle.

Just hope I get my precious cut glass trifle bowl back in good shape!

Cold chicken and salad yesterday.
Chicken curry today I think.

Fish and chips delivered by the shop in the next village.

This morning I came home after two days away. I have a full freezer but not much in the fridge. My son-in-law gave me a plate of turkey and veg leftovers to reheat which I shall enjoy later. He also used up some lamb in a casserole, but I left before it was fully cooked so I have popped the oven on to finish off the cooking and will eat that in about half an hour. Back to reality tomorrow!

Cod leftover meat, reheated stuffing, mash and pickles. I might have coffee ice cream with a splash of Tia Maria.

Turkey stew made with some of DD’s leftovers and sundry veg from the fridge.

The last of our cold turkey crown, a lovely Daylesford ham brought and left by son and girlfriend along with some of their pickles and relishes I'll be making bubble and squeak to go with the cold meats. It seems all our guests brought
cheese and biscuits and then refused to take any away with them so we have a shed load, I can't see me buying cheese again anytime soon, well not this side of 2024 anyway!

Lamb hotpot

Y son has just dropped off the remains of Christmas dinner which needs to be eaten today. There is enough for two or more so I have messaged a friend who is likely to be home alone. It will be four days in a row for me! Or the bin.

Making River Cottage pumpkin celeriac blue cheese pie today no meat for a few days.

Mash and the last of the meat today. I will have fish for a few of the coming days.

Help from family doing the honors of shaving the black truffle over French butter and spices to be used on the pasta.

Roast pork with roast potatoes, cauliflower/broccoli cheese, sprouts, stuffing (leftover from Christmas), proper gravy, and then we’ll start on the 2nd Christmas pud, with the 2nd lot of brandy butter, which I’ve still got to make. 😋
