Turkey for us.

A Happy and Peaceful Christmas to you all.

Today - Beef with oyster sauce, chicken with peanuts, fried fish with garlic and lots of rice.

Tomorrow - Roast leg of lamb (a rare treat), roast potatoes, brussel sprouts, mince pies, Christmas pud (at huge expense, but never mind)

Today and tomorrow, gin and a few beers.

We had beef with all the trimmings followed by Christmas pudding. That plus a few cocolates & Pringles filled me up for the day! It amazes me the amount of food people think they can consume over the Christmas break - there were people in Tesco with TWO trolleys the other day
Hope you've all had a great day!

I am with this. We had a 'brunch' at 11am, sausages, scrambled egg, beans, tomatoes etc, then had our presents. Then dinner at 4.30, not enormous, but still no room for pud. Then we played charades. It's easy in our house becasue we all think the same. After that a few Pringles and chocs (and of course the olives and onions in the vodka martini, a new find this Christmas.)

our local market stall has about 30 varieties - some are yeuch, some are yeuccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but a couple are actually OK. A bit like wives I suppose - olives that is, not the stallholder.

As for traditional Christmas Lunch I fell downstairs about 6am, knocked up a few canapes for whan everyone (like nine oversized maws ) got back to the house, got the turkey, veg, sauces, stuffings et all on the table and went back to bed. At least I didn't suffer from wind though from what I heard they enjoyed their meal; nobody went to hospital that I know of.

Joking aside, I had had to cook for and host an annual eight hour reception for over 70 people a few days before and picked up a bug which laid me a bit low - I am now up again (today) at well below my weight when I left housie so if anyone is overweight, I CAN CURE OBESITY but you won't like it!

Glad to hear you are feeloing better- here's to a healthy new year.
