Christmas Menu

The Hub usually takes a better picture than this but he was in a hurry for his dinner

As I’ve done nothing but eat since Christmas Eve, I have nothing to tell you.  

Unless I go with what I’ve been eating.  

That’s what I’ll do.

Here is our Christmas Dinner Menu (sans forgotten starter):

• Turkey
• Gammon
• Chicken
• I forgot to put out the sausages, though I did cook them

• Cauliflower (for those who don’t like Cauliflower Cheese)
• Cauliflower Cheese (for those who don’t like cauliflower on its own)
• Broccoli
• Parsnips in honey
• Carrots
• Peas
• Green Beans
• Sprouts
• Mediterranean Vegetable Mix (because it looked tasty)

• Mashed Potatoes (using the good margarine)
• Roast Potatoes (cooked in the meat fat)
• Homemade Yorkshire Puddings (because the Hub prefers them)
• Shop-bought Yorkshire puddings (because Spud prefers them)
• Homemade Gravy (using the meat stock – all three)

• Homemade Apple Pie
• Rhubarb Pie
• Alison’s Fantastic Cheesecake (she always makes a huge one for the Hub at Christmas)
• Chocolate Fudge Cake
• Toblerone Cake
• Frosted Fancies
• Assorted Sponge Cakes
• Bakewell Tarts
• Cream

Is it any wonder I’ve done nothing since Christmas Day?

Apart from our traditional Boxing Day Buffet, that is.  

That list is even longer, so here’s an illustration instead (without puddings):

Boxing Day Savouries

Like a reformed Scrooge, it is always said of me that I know how to keep Christmas well.  If my guests explode when they leave, that’s down to them being guzzleguts.
