Oh go on then, I'll start!
Had a Merkin special spaghetti bolognese which is chock full of red wine, smokey bacon, chorizo and lots and lots of beef stock. It's very rich and I made a big pot of it on Sunday night which furnished forth last night as well. It was ever so tasty if I do say so myself - I often wonder why food tastes even better on the second day but it does! 0 -

I miss the old HWIHFDLN thread already. So many lovely dinners that will fade into the ether of boards that no one will see:(
Ah, well, long live the new HWIHFDLN thread:D
Last night was buffalo rib eyes with fried polenta, salsa verde and bacon fat fried cabbage.

Chicken fillet stuffed with mozzarella and garlic, with roasted brocolli. Had some leftover bolognase sauce, so threw that on the chicken too. Delicious!
I'm finally getting into cooking after living out of home for over a year! - in my first place, the kitchen was tiny and absolutely awful so I avoided it as much as possible! Now, I have a nice kitchen

Anyway, tonight was Thai red curry with garlic croutons (cos they were in the press in front of the rice) and crusty bread. Really good, bit oily though.
Deleted posts also count too. Allegedly. The hamsters don't say too much about their trade sekrits. 0 -

I said I would only eat half of cheese and then have some salad. Then I had all of it. And then ate passionfruit curd from the jar with a spoon. And another glass of wine. And tonight was supposed to be my light mackerel salad to counteract the excesses of the season. Maybe next year!

Grilled (greedy portions) fillets of hake, Thai rice, sweetheart cabbage with lemon zest and a little beer, bacon fat fried kale with garlic.
The kale was a revelation for me. We have it growing in the garden and Mrs. Beer loves it but I always struggled to like it so I was looking for a way of cooking it that might appeal to me more. I fried it in a very hot wok with lots of garlic and I couldn't get enough of it! Very slow growing at this time of year, though:mad:.

I wanted bibimbap but I could no more get dressed and leave the house than I could sprout wings and fly so I made do with stuff at home to mimic it a little. Was nice but way, way too much. It's not obvious from the photo but this dish is bucket sized

Mrs Billy & The Kids welcomed me home for Christmas with a beautiful Steak & Kidney pie.
Official handover of command of the kitchen takes place at approx 09:00 tomorrow morning after I'm brought a cup of tea in bed. Then the kitchen is mine for the next 2 weeks. Yippee!0 -

Am I really the first to have the pleasure of listing what we had for dinner? :pac:
Melon and smoked salmon with caviar on brown bread to start, followed by spiced beef (my first taste, yum), turkey, ham, gravy, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, mash, buttered carrots, celery, 2 kinds of sausagemeat stuffing and incredible brussels sprouts with bacon and toasted almonds. It was traditional, but perfect.
Dessert was pudding, custard, strawberry sponge sherry trifle and banoffee, with coffee and chocolates.
Oh and lashings of cava.
Merry Christmas all. 0 -

Myself and my boyfriend ended up staying at my house for Christmas, even though we'd planned to spend it together in his house, alone.
Anyway we didn't bother with starters or deserts, so for our dinner we had turkey, Aldi's four bird roast, potato stuffing, chestnut stuffing, brussels sprouts, carrots and mashed potatoes.
Been nibbling on biscuits, ice cream, crisps and sweets throughout the day too. Only had two drinks too, so no hangover tomorrow 0 -
We had oysters to start (that's a big tradition here), one set from the Mediterranean and one set from the Atlantic, both lovely but very different tastes. Yum!
Then a cepe tart.
Then for the main, guinea fowl with dauphin potatoes and green beans and gravy.
Then salad, and loads of lovely cheeses.
Then the 13 desserts (also a French tradition), so trifle, chocolate and chestnut log, coconut kisses, Christmas cookies, almond biscotti (all those were homemade), walnuts, almonds, two different sets of chocolates, clementines, figs, dates, and a pineapple.
And champagne! 0 -

Everything turned out great, but a big feck up with the turkey -- I was playing scrabble with my FIL while prepping, didn't realise the turkey had to be taken out 20 min earlier. So despite the two-day brining, the turkey ended up dryish
. I didn't get the chance to buy the beeping probing thermometer as per Sparks, really wished I had.
But everything else now, wonderful
SIL made a seriously delicious smoked salmon terrine & salad.
The gravy from Jamie's make-ahead stock was great.
The roast and mashed spuds and carrots, two thumbs up.
Gordon's cranberry sauce was well complimented.
Sausage nut stuffing as always, a hit.
But the star of them all was actually the roasted brussels sprouts -- so simple yet so good I managed to convert three sprout-haters. Thanks Barefoot Contessa.
My SIL also made Mary Berry's Sherry Trifle, which deserved a standing ovation. I've never been a trifle person, but I went back for seconds.
We had a fabulous evening, not too late too, with last guests left the gaff at 1am.
I must say, and Mr Fox agrees, it was the best Christmas we've ever had, but I shall stick to goose and duck for years to come.0 -
