Any dinner disasters today?

Sardonicat · 25-12-2018 10:16PM

Dinner was grand. Turkey plus trimmings for myself, father and neighbour and veggie roast and veggie gravy plus trimmings for Mr Sardonicat. Clean plates all round except for mine cos the potatoes and veg were cold before I could sit down to my own. Turkey was fantastic and juicy, though. Didn't realise I had a disaster til about half an hour ago (we sat down to dinner @ 2.30), when I opened the fridge to get a drink and noticed the starter still waiting to be cooked.

Eating dinner now, one of those microwavable turkey dinners. Added my own touch to it and put some brussel sprouts in. 5 minutes and done.

Better than ingesting glass shards. Enjoy. It is just a day really isn't it?

Thankfully none

Not a disaster but just went to the oven to get some turkey out for a sambo and found about forty croquettes and a mountain of stuffing. Knew the dinner was missing something.

Brother and his wife are both chefs - they must think we’re savages having Christmas dinner without stuffing

Well we're all stuffed here, and dinner went well... But I burnt the roast potatoes, not cremated but definitely burnt...

I made some earlier, they are awesome and always a crowd pleaser.

The rashers are obviously a bit too cold

Maybe look at the Lidl/Aldi twitter pages about rotten turkeys! Plenty of disasters there.

Probably down to poor storage by the store or buyer.

My Mam forgot to put my vegetarian roast on. I'm the only vegetarian in the family, she also cooked all of the roast potatoes, parsnips etc in animal fat. She normally does vegetable oil.

I basically didn't eat.

That'll learn ya for being a veggie!!!!

I can tell you all that a breakfast (sorry replicated Christmas Dinnner) of rashers sausages, Clonakilty black and white plus roast and veg will save you no matter what.

All the best to everyone. Normal service resumes tomorrow I suppose.

Well… not us but my sister in-law and her family had a doozy today

They’re having Christmas dinner at her husbands family. For what ever reason they all decided to bring their dogs along this year.

Her husbands brother has a rather skittish cocker spaniel. He was there first.

Then rocks up her husbands sister

Sister in laws husband? So, your brother?
Husbands brother and sister would be YOUR brother and sister, or am I missing something!

Neither did I lol. But I saved the day just the same with a "breakfast" dinner, and every plate was cleaned up. We did laugh.

I was putting the leftover stuffing in the fridge earlier when I realised it was ALL left over because I forgot to fekin serve it up! Those three G&Ts before dinner were strong!

I get it now though thanks to previous post

I blame lack of sleep and too much food

Pherekydes · 25-12-2018 11:09PM

No, the Brú brewery lager is excellent!

Your dinner sounds delicious. You can't beat Clonakilty black pudding.

Amprodude · 25-12-2018 11:20PM

Put the turkey into a cannon and blew it to Kingdom come. Nicely sizzled at the end of the firing.

BringBackMick · 25-12-2018 11:23PM

My uncle burnt the arse out of the turkey. It was smoking so bad set off the alarms in the whole block. Fire Bridgade came.

He asked me to carry in two sacks of coal today and I says “hold on two seconds I’ve good jeans on let me throw on those overalls”.

He was muttering curses and shaking his head walking into the shed.

He sounds like an absolute legend. He should be let do a q&a on AH, no filtering

Bounced it off him there. He wouldn’t do it in fairness.

“The internet? Who’d I be talking to on the f*ckin internet? Sure they’d be following on you that thing it’s pure dangerous I heard. I wouldn’t go near it. People’s heads are gone mad with that auld internet. Those Muslim fellas blowing themselves up, they say that’s the cause of it.”

Found a bottle of poitin the press when my Nan was looking for old brandy. Made a batch of poitcoffees but only me and my 80 year old grandad had any; he had four of them and was absolutely battered.

Half way through dinner he jabbed a finger at me and said “you wouldn’t get spuds as good as them over in London would ya? Despite all your fancy f*ckin’ clothes.”

Legend of a man, love him.

I am fúckin' howlin' at this
