Christmas Dinner

[Maelbrigda]

venison with port and cranberry sauce, stuffed peppers, olives, feta cheese, garlic bread and a little salad

what did you have?

My worst Christmas ever i only had a boiled egg so although we just had a small meal it was a wonderful feast

I didn't really want it after I cooked it so had one slice of turkey, two sprouts, two spuds, just been back to pick at some bacon and cold turkey, I enjoyed that better.

awww sorry you didnt enjoy it buttons. i have never liked turkey and dont eat red meat all that often.. I have been feeling unwell for a few days and wasnt up to doing much. Enjoyed what we had and still have profiteroles for when i feel better.
Feel sorry for all the flooded out folks that didnt get to enjoy their Christmas

I dont cook on Christmas day, its too upsetting and makes me cry so I had my usual diet of biscuits, chocolate and whisky!

[HerMajesty]

My cooking usually makes me and everyone else cry. Don't feel bad. Chocolate is good for you!!

We had a cold cheese sandwich for lunch, and OH had pizza and I had some fish and leftover veg for supper. When I used to eat meat, I did enjoy venison - the cranberry would be nice with it!

I hope you are feeling better mael, and also buttons, and that your creative dinner was yummy, zaranva!

Had the usual this year but was enjoying it so much that I neglected to take any piccies. Have already have a leftover fry up this morning and we've got enough food in in for a second full xmas dinner this evening.

I had sliced Turkey for breakfast

Now there's a breakfast!

Had chicken strips from Chik-Fil-A and a homemade rye dip with mayo and corned beef we've been making since the 80s, (recipe from my old boss, the same rye dip they sell at Wegmans food markets, his family recipe actually). Always enjoy it, it's greasy, fattening and dee-lish , hence only once a year.

Happy holidaze and best wishes for many sales to all,

Our Christmas / holiday season is very low key. There is opportunity for a shift in how we celebrate now that the mothers have crossed over. So, we've taken that opportunity. No presents. No anxiety. Some simple decorations to celebrate the return of longer days.

But, we did cook a turkey dinner. Not because of any reason other than we had one in the freezer that needed cooking before it became too old. Plus, we both enjoy turkey. So we had turkey, slow-cooker stuffing, yam, beans / carrot / turnip etc. It was good. We'll be eating left overs today. Turkey for two.

We had goose with sausage and chestnut stuffing.

After all the I-don't-like-it comments, the goose was delicious. Gamey taste better than duck, and I cooked it to drain away as much fat as possible so it was not greasy. Would certainly be up for goose again.
