    Beef and chicken every christmas day except once.

    The kids will always remember, when they were young, I decided one christmas I was not going to slave away in the kitchen, christmas eve and christmas day with the usual, no help, x;) so we all had pizza, and it was great. I had a super lazy day. x:-D

    I posted on here and it's got lost, this keeps happening to me am I being monitored by GCHQ do ya think??.
    Anyway I and my daughter will be having fillet steak and I'm cooking it, we always go to my sisters and last year I brought the 18lb carcase home to break down and make a big casserole out of it the scraps would go to the dogs, anyway my mother cooked it and the admission of me having steak has meaning, my dear old mum tends not to cook things to well sometimes, anyway I got the bird home and started taking the meat off of it and low and behold the dammed thing was uncooked just below the surface, and to make matters worse the plastic bag of giblets part cooked in it!. So it's Fillet for me and Hannah and Mandy is having Salmon as usual!.

    Nah, tradition is called for here otherwise I don't get me turkey sandwiches in the evening, which I absolutely adore! Turkey sandwiches with a smattering of smoked gammon shavings, a pinch of salt to taste, oh heaven! A wisp of lettuce an occasional ring of raw onion and heaven is complete, oh and a cuppa yorkshire to wash them down.

    Everyone comes to mine for Christmas lunch, so as a Christmas present my Mother in law orders all the food turkey crown, salmon mousse, champagne panacotta etc from M&S and we pick it up Christmas eve, (She gets a great discount as she works at M&S and has done for 39 years)
    As I'm so poorly this year, everyone is helping out so I won't be a frazzled wreck for once x:lol:

    My family are all coming to me, so I will be doing all the cooking. They offer to help but I get on much better on my own in the kitchen ( too many cooks etc.! ) I will cook, but they can do all the clearing up afterwards while I put my feet up.

    We will be having the traditional turkey, but I have to cook a chicken too as the kids don't like turkey. One thing they insist on is Mum's Yorkshire pudding, which isn't a usual thing with Christmas dinner, but they think no meal is complete without it. x:-P

    It will be the usual turkey with all the trimmings.We now buy a turkey crown so we're not eating turkey in different guises for the next month (a turkey is for Christmas not for life!).

    People come in two types, sprout lovers and sprout haters, I'll happily eat all the ones you leave.

    The question is to sprout or not to spout, is it nobler to eat the greens and veg or suffer the mother-in-laws outrage all xmas day? x8-)

    Its a grin, honest!

    We have to turkey as any other choice does not sit well with the respective mothers. Christmas round ours is miserable enough without giving them further ammo to fire at us. DD
