I had a quick look at recipes on line...no need to marinade as it is all farmed and young etc. So I didn't marinade it and went shopping.

The man on the programme said venison is not as fatty as other meats, so you need to make sure it stays moist.

I think I'd like to have venison roasted, so I knew I could taste the full benefit of it and enjoy the meat for its own merits .... but a nice, tasty, slow cooked, casserole.... with dumplings .... is also very appealing.

Here is what's round the back of my local Lidl.

It appears that most of the time I am not holding my cameraphone straight... most are a tad wonky, so would need rotating 2-3% and cropping. This photo's passable though

I've also got a photo of my left nostril where I'd finished using the camera and had the phone in my hand, but accidentally touched the screen.

I do Christmas lunch every year although there was only 3 of us last Christmas day and there will be 3 of us this year too. We have a 17lb turkey ordered :eek: along with all trimmings only sausagemeat stuffing . I do not make my own Christmas pudding. I am quite happy with Christmas day being quiet as we host/cook through the week.

On 21st we have the husband of our lovely friend and their family over so that will be 10 of them and us 3. I have ordered a 4kg gammon with a pheasant casserole as an alternative. We will eat as a buffet.

On 22nd I am making 4 dozen mincepies for the nine lessons and carols service

On 26th OH's family are coming and there will be 15 of us. I have ordered 5 kg sirloin...the plan was to get it cut up and I would make a steak and ale casserole...but now dithering as we will have a dining table and can add the kitchen table to enable us all to sit together so may change to a rib of beef and have roast.

On 27th I am at work, out with friends that night and on call that weekend.

I may marzipan the cake tonight ready to ice . On saying this to OH he has asked "why can't we have soft icing like other families?":rotfl:

I usually make a snow effect out of icing and decorate it with a wired ribbon bow. It looks fine but if I am honest the icing could cover Chernobyl and keep the world safe from radioactivity forever more.

Just to the left is the full IoW..... I'd have snapped that but it was murky so wouldn't have shown up in a photo.... in fact, I probably did snap it, but didn't notice as it was murky.

PasturesNew

Here's the IoW.... in the murk.

That's certainly not what the back of my nearest Lidl looks like!

Well, bit of poetic license..... that's really 2 miles down the road and 1/4 mile behind

1/4 mile behind is another beach though... but I didn't stop there, I drove on 2 more miles.
