xmas dinner, what did you learn?

wallbash

Over for another year, tell us the successful tips and did anything go wrong

Jamie Oliver's way of carving the turkey was brilliant , but messing with the brussels was a waste of effort.

More of the traditional Paxo sage/onion went then the expensive stuff from M/S.

Waiting for the dishwasher, the rest of the 'mob' gone for a walk .
To you all , enjoy the rest of the day.

........dont over par-boil the spuds, roasted mash potato is a strange dish

still managed to eat it all though, very yummy dinner even if i do say so :j

hope everyone else has had a good day

Don't do as many potatoes, people only want about half what they normally eat!

Don't buy a HUGE turkey crown from M&S:o Can anyone tell me if I can freeze it and have it cold one day?

Don't cook a hundred weight of potatoes for 3 people
Don't try to hold the roasting tin with your bare hands straight from the oven :mad:

If I wasn't so full I'd love to eat my dinner all over again, it was lush

Mines all portioned out into the freezer, for pies, curries and sarnies throughout January and possibly February :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I learnt to let someone else do it! First year I haven't cooked or travelled miles away for Christmas dinner and it was marvellous Great dinner made by MIL then we could walk home and have a snooze.
