And it was: my beloved slaved away this morning - I was allowed to help with some of the veg prep (and I did the clearing after) but the meal was pretty good. :xmas_smile: There was, however, a slight problem in that although the Brussels had been gently boiling since 4pm on Tuesday they were still a little underdone. :xmas_sad: :wink:

I have had a very pleasant day and I hope that all of you have had the same: that your families have been behaving, that pain is doing the decent thing and taking a back-seat and that tiredness levels are not too high.

My best wishes to each and every one. DD

    Hi DD and Barbara
    Glad you had a good day. For the first time in 37 years Peter hasn't cooked Christmas lunch :o
    We went to my sons for lunch. Paul, Anna and grand daughter and her mam and dad were there. The 2 of us and we picked Sarah up on the way to his house.
    We had a good day.......I did very little but am shattered now.
    It might be because I was up 5 times last night :shock:
    Hope you have all had a great day
    We are hosting the family party tomorrow.
    Love
    Hileena :xmas_cheesygrin:

    Wonder what happened to the sprouts???

    Probably not his fault DD. I hope you supplied him with plenty of wine to help him in his kitchen duties

    Barbara - how lovely your son cooked and you had such a great day. Hope you slept well :cheesygrin:

    Hileena - that sounded like a lovely Christmas - I can imagine your granddaughter loved it. Good luck with the family meal hosting today :)

    I cooked here, ably assisted by Charley. We were a small, but perfectly formed group of 8 and Lucy ate the LOT :)

    Love

    Glad you enjoyed it. My husband doesn't like turkey so we had crab, prawns and smoked salmon with salad so all I had to do was boil the potatoes!
