Well,my Ham is boiling now - 2 hours left to go,then a quick blast in the oven tomorrow to make it all burnished & sticky

 

How are everyone else's preparations going?

[chuckmum6]

We aren't bothering with a starter this year, we get too full.

Just got a super piece of beef from our village butcher and a turkey crown, we will have Parmesan parsnips, sprouts with Italian ham and chestnuts, roast potatoes, yorkshires, carrots, peas, broccoli, cauliflower and homemade stuffing. Pud will be Christmas pudding and/or Eton mess (I just wish one year someone would cook for us.) We will follow all of this with hours of lego building - star wars and Harry P sets big ones too.

 

It will be strange as it is my first Christmas without my mum (she died suddenly a three months ago).

 

Have a good dinner everyone and Merry Christmas.

I'm have home grown cockeral with home grown spuds, parsnip, sprouts and celeriac the last 3 are all still frozen I'm hoping they thaw out by tomorrow the veg were all picked today except the spuds

[SarahJo]

Christmas dinner will be - crispy duck and pancakes, prawn spring rolls with filo prawns and chilli dip, rice, prawn crackers and spare ribs. OH is working nights

 

Boxing day however, we will have Melon with prawns and parma Ham, then turkey, spuds, carrots, pigs in blankets, sweetcorn and tenderstem brocolli. Followed by hot choc fudge cake and ice cream - if anyone can fit it in

 

Have a lovely Christmas everyone

Tonight, fresh organic gammon. Tomorrow, a bronze-feathered turkey from the local farm (where I get all my chicken bedding and chicken food) with all the trimmings including home-made chestnut stuffing, and home-made pudding. Then on Boxing Day we have a huge number of the family descending to help us eat up the cold leftovers

 

Have a lovely Christmas everybody!

Gammon is smmering away in the slow cooker and Summer pudding is soaking.

[chickencam]

We had fishcakes and salad for tea and I have a fresh hot batch of mince pies with my name on them

 

Bronze Freerange turkey on the menu for tomorrow, spuds, carrots and sprouts prepared, ready made stuffings bought, wine chilling

We have consumed the best Christmas dinner ever! We can highly recommend Sainsburys three bird roast Their fresh cranberry, orange & port sauce is to die for too. We didn't bother with a starter in the end and were so full of dinner we're saving pudding for later

[Cinnamon]

Likewise Griffin - it will be a late night dollop of Christmas pud for us,if at all

We are all full,relaxed & happy after a smashing Christmas lunch.

And I have enough ham left over to feed a small army................

[Looney]

We had roast lamb and roast pork (bought reduced in Waitrose on Christmas Eve) with veggies and roast spuds and parsnips...followed by treacle sponge! Today we've had warm pork and stuffing baguettes for lunch and left-over meat with noodles for dinner. I'm stuffed!!

[craftyhunnypie]

We had Bucks fizz & canapes ( olives, bruschetta, parma ham)

Then smoked salmon with melba toast & marie rose sauce

Then lemon sorbet

Then turkey & all the trimmings including caramelised red cabbage!

Then pre dessert of raspberry & champagne mousse & homemade shortbread

Then I had yule log with winter fruit & rum sauce & dark chocolate star, hubby had Xmas pud.

Then coffee & petit fours

 

Later we had cheese & biscuits & port - plus lots & lots of wine! Mince Pies & Xmas cake.

 

Great - because we didn't cook any of it - our fab hotel chef saw to it all.
