Cooking tonight (Mk4)

[Nicos]

Homemade canapés and mulled wine and mulled cider with neighbours
Then later on a quick defrosted lamb curry with riced cauli

[greenishfing]

Tonight an easy meal, corned beef hash (with poached eggs on top).

[Nicos]

Steak and mushrooms in a creamy sauce served in a baguette. Served with a glass of fizz. Mince pies and cream for pud.

I’ve done this for over 30 years as it’s so simple but feels rather special - mainly because we always worked Xmas Eve and there was so much else waiting to be prepared once we got home.
Ah the luxury of being ‘retired’

[Bren In Pots]

Veggie burgers with salad and garlic herb potatoes.

[Snoop Puss]

Roast duck with the usual trimmings, Christmas pud with cream. I've not picked any sprouts so far this season, so Mr Snoop will be properly pleased. There are loads of them, big and fat and a lovely green.

Bon appétit, everyone.

Garlic rosemary lamb with roast veg, sprouts and peas.

[Nicos]

Turkey breast stuffed with duck and Guinea fowl breast, fois gras and apricots and prunes.
Roast spuds ( ours) , carrots ( ours) and parsnips ( ours) , stuffing with our own sage , apples ( ours)and shallots( ours) plus Calvados. Bread sauce made with brioche and cream. Sprouts and chestnuts.

Thank goodness I was on a diet!

Xmas pud, thick birds custard and thick cream followed by cheese and biscuits much later if there is still any space left.

[greenishfing]

Prawn cocktail.

Roast duck, parsnips, potatoes, carrots, french beans, broccoli, beetroot and gravy.

Christmas pudding and brandy cream.

I haven't even room for a cup of coffee yet.

[greenishfing]

Tonight will be curry with most of yesterday's leftovers thrown in and either rice or naan.

Leftover Christmas pudding and brandy cream.

[Nicos]

Left overs!
No space for the pudding yesterday so we’ll be having that too. Maybe freeze the rest of it. ( …or maybe not!)

[Bren In Pots]

Leftover here as well, it will make a quick dinner

[greenishfing]

Today Mr GF's favourite, prawn, mushroom, sweetcorn, pea and whatever else is lurking in the bottom of the fridge risotto.

We had no room yesterday for the last of the Christmas pudding so maybe today..... with brandy cream.

[Nicos]

Left overs on butties with dribbled gravy, pickles etc.
The rest has gone in the freezer.

Xmas pud and custard for pud.
I made a deconstructed trifle yesterday and that was lovely and refreshing.

[Bren In Pots]

This evening Lamb bhuna, rice, naans with assorted pickles.

Had a rather nice blackberry jam sponge pudding and custard for lunch

[Nicos]

Creamy mushroom and ham pasta with a lambs lettuce side salad.
Clementines for pud
