What we having?

Sister in law (modest handful) and her fella split, in-laws in France, so it's just the five of us at home. If I'm honest, I can't really be arsed; it's an early Sunday dinner, and will have all the fannying around without the extra gifts and booze.

 

Anyway, kids want turkey. They didn't have mash last year, and tbf I didn't miss it; however they insist. The wife usually asks for gammon, and that's my usual contribution to a family meal. I'm looking forward to making gravy, semifredo etc in advance. Go forth good folk of WWays; inspire me with your festive fayre 

Just burnt my Parsnips 

Second lot in now

Steeping tablet and pea net.

Goodness gracious me.

The rest of the veg look splendid, and you’re about to commit an atrocity.

Nah... just boiled petit pois for me. Don't be worrying yourself.

Pictures of naked women or depraved gay sex acts only.

I'm not posting a picture of my meagre takeaway Christmas meal - if any are even open.

(I do have 17 cans of Guinness and three Hobgoblins to tide me over - so not all bad).

And they need to steep for 12 hours at least you animal.

No one wants to see your meat and two veg anyway 😉

Merry Christmas Youri

Forgot to set the crayfish traps in my bit of river, maybe New Year. I can climb the fence and nick some duck eggs from next door :-)

I wouldn't eat anything that crawls out of the Ravensborne - our nearest river which cuts from Lewisham through Catford. Delightful.

As for ducks, they get aten by the millions of scabby, mange ridden urban foxes round here.

3 meats, turkey ( breast roast roll) from Morrisons, not cheap but nice and no waist.

Pork, probably leg roast circa £8.

Gammon, probably from tesco, again £7-8.

Plenty left over for barms on boxing Day.

Stuffing recipe is one we saw on a tv cookery show about 15 years ago by a female chef, name i can't remember but i think its still on the bbc website.

Mushy peas made from them old fashioned soak overnight batchelers.

Carrots are a tom kerridge recipe.

Red cabbage, (frozen from lidl) if available.

Roasties, home made.

Sprouts, only me likes em.

Yorkshire's? NO WAY.

Little sausages with bacon, love them.

Gravy??? Maybe buy some.

Well

This was it

Genesis.

Im an hour from tucking into my din dins but all I can think about is @Whitestarproudly parading his pan of peas to the dinner table in his house.

A fanfare of heaving and expletives from his guests as the green mud is presented.

Its also just occurred to me that placement is likely to be a factor.

But I don’t want to think too much about it.

They took bin bags to shit in whilst they waited in bushes for their chance to terminate his command with extreme prejudice.
