[binley100]

Whatever my mum and dad decide to cook . I cook christmas day usually fairly traditional and the it's round to them on boxing day. One year it was lasagna last year it was pork with a prune and apricot stuffing and roast veg.

What's everyone doing?

We're having people over for lunch and then a buffet/drinks thing in the evening. I can't decide what to do for lunch. There's someone who doesn't eat meat but will eat fish, and the general vote is not to have another 'roast' type thing so a nice fillet of beef or something is off. Mr R isn't fond of tagine (which otherwise would have been perfect).

I'm doing two dishes - a fish one and a meat one, so people can choose.

So far, my ideas are - Flemish Carbonades (long-cooked beef in beer/mustard thing

and

either lobster thermidor or a smoked fish pie

I'd like to hear any other suggestions, if anyone's got any?

Not in the least - I do something similar at least once a week, and it's what I love doing!

Our kitchen is open plan into the dining room and family room, and opens out into the garden on the other side so it's a lovely place to be chained to the stove. I get to enjoy the cooking and everyone being there at the same time!

I'm wondering about curry too, we'd all love it, just wondering whether it's lunch-y enough. Might think about a curry-buffet in the evening...
