What are you having for Christmas Dinner?

codemonkey

Offered to cook at the parents house this year. Was only supposed to be four of us, but my parents keep inviting more people:

My mum will make her delicious soup.

Then
Ham cooked in coke
Roast beef
Turkey crown (my brother can't live without turkey but everyone else isn't keen)
Pigs in blankets
Roast potatoes
Saut!ed carrots in honey
Green beans wrapped in bacon

And hopefully my mum will make her delicious trifle if anyone has room left for pudding.

Ordered my meat in over the weekend and sorted out the menu.

My first Christmas as a homeowner and father so got my parents, siblings, in-laws, wife's siblings and their partners round for a total of 14 adults.

Turkey Crown
Joint of Topside Beef
Home made gravy
Home made yorkshire puddings
Honey roast carrots and parsnips
Garden peas
Brussels with chestnuts and Sage
Packet sage & Onion stuffing
Shop bought pigs in blankets

Not planned desserts yet but will be going for something I can cook the week before as i'll have enough to do on the day.

I also did all my xmas shopping at the weekend and everything is wrapped and all cards written apart from a couple of bits that have been ordered online and are awaiting delivery

That's what I call organised! :T

I don't go nuts over Christmas as to me it's simply a big roast with lots of trimmings but I quite enjoy the browsing the shops for the extra foodie bits and speciality foods that only pop up for Christmas .......and I think having it all sorted a month and a half ahead would take some of the Christmas feel away for me

My mouth is already starting to salivate thinking about all the holiday food i'm going to gorge myself with and then the numerous naps afterward.
