Travelled to meet family and friends yesterday and give them their turkeys and venison and lamb, met most on the side of the road this year so it was a lot shorter day than usual. Hatches are battened down now and time to seriously relax. Had a brunch just there of hash browns, bacon medallions, sausages and eggs with tea and toast.

Going to do the spiced beef for tomorrow there now and then a curry for later, I could open an off licence with the amount of bottles we came home with last night, lots of different stuff too which will have to be sampled over the holiday. Take it easy everyone, have a great one and stay safe.

So I'm not the only one awake and hungry. I'll be getting the breakfast started soon while the troops are still in their cots.

Coffee and cake here, lovely silent house here, I love the peaceful Christmas morning feeling, have a lovely day all, looking forward to the food updates, I can't wait for the dinner, I'm hungry already.

First slices of the ham I cooked last night here, with hot buttered toast and coffee.

We're all wearing our Hairy Baby tee-shirts that Santa brought us, I got the Pintman Paddy Losty one.

Turkey in the oven, veg etc prepped. Brandy and Bailey's poured. I nearly dislocated my wrist with the size of the parsnips. Huge weggyatables

beerguts

Turkey, braised red cabbage, roasties, brussel sprouts, steamed carrots and a bottle of red wine. I have a lovely fire in the living room watching the Bond movie with a half one of Jameson. I will definetly be asleep by 8pm

I ate before expected. Bronze butterflied turkey with wild berry stuffing. Honey roast carrots and parsnips with roasted roosters and rosemary. Red cabbage in apple cider vinegar and apple. Turkey gravy all over. I had smoked salmon with prawn cocktail for starters (no pic)

Weighted the turkey around 2 o clock only to realise it was a lot heavier than it looked and would take about 7-8 hours to cook. In steps the eldest lad with his cool, calm and collective skills, a choice was offered and a decision was made to spatchcock it, and not only did he do that he made the gravy from the backbone and the neck separately.

Took a heap of pressure off of us and was the best tasting turkey we have had ever. Enjoyed with all the usual trimmings, some nice wine, profiteroles for dessert and another Irish coffee to finish it off.

A Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Year to all.

Autosport

Mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts, roast lamb, spiced beef and smoked ham and parsley sauce

That's why they came up with the catchphrase "once you pop, you can't stop"

Normally make our own stuffing but for whatever reason this year with a busy lead up, we just ordered it from the butchers.. Turkey ‘with’ stuffing on the receipt even but not a flake of stuffing on checking this morning... the only dissatisfaction of a pretty perfect day it’s got to be said...

Grandeeod

Christmas day was round two of the Chinese food. I had fried rice,beef sezchuan, chicken curry and satay chicken skewers. A late night brandy and ginger ale times too many!

A traditional roast dinner today and defo no more brandy.

Grandeeod

We don't do turkey, so it was a roast chicken with ham and stuffing. Served up with mash, broccoli, cauliflower and a big roastie. The pic is before the chicken gravy and the sliced centre cut ham is under there somewhere. A typical roast dinner for us.

Finally did the turkey dinner a day late today, ate too many sweets yesterday morning and couldn't face it Chipped a tooth on some skittles so down to 50% gorging capacity for the rest of the festivities

Surreptitious

Tea and four slices of crusty brown toast with chicken liver pate.
