best and worst parts of your dinner

LameWolf

The dinner was fine - we had Qu0rn fillets with crumbled Feta cheese and HM white wine sauce, and roasted root veg (neither of us likes sprouts, so we don't have them).

The worst bit was cooking the above in my dressing gown, dripping with sweat, my head spinning like a top, and feeling like I was going to pass out at any second. Lupus flare-up - 'nuff said! :cool:
Before anyone says anything, Mr LW did help, lots; I just refuse to let this damn illness have the last word.

My stuffing balls, pigs in blankets, chicken, bad parts i had too much on my plate. I couldn't eat it all. I could so right now finish off what i left, i'm starving.

All of my things went well apart from the fact that by the time I got to sit at my plate, everything on it had gone a bit cold. I never warm plates or food, so that would be it..! In future I will just warm my plate!

I always cook Christmas dinner. This year everything was lovely (I use frozen baby sprouts). The worst part was actually having to cook it! I'd have preferred to sit and drink Prosecco....I still drank Prosecco, but cooked while doing so

I worked on Christmas morning so my OH cooked the Turkey and trimmings. That was the best bit, it was lovely and he said so as well :T

The worst bit was the first taste of some wine we got as a present from work. We both work at the same place so we have got another bottle. It is Tesco Cava Traditional Method Brut. We have never tasted it before and the first taste was a bit :eek: But was fine afterwards.

Mine went mostly ok, the best bits were the turkey was perfectly cooked, pigs in blankets were amazing and my HM cranberry jelly went down a storm. The not so good, the yorkshires were not the best I forgot to add a pinch of salt to the batter so they were slightly lacking in taste and I hadn't realised the oven had gone out so the goose eat wasn't hot enough when I put them in so they didn't cook as well as they should have. I also forgot to add anything to the roasties I normally put in a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a kick but we had them plain, they were ok but we are used to better.

Best was the goose. Never had goose before but will be having it from now on

The worse? Not really being able to do justice to it :rotfl:

I do honestly eat very little.

Still we had the same again yesterday ( left overs just reheated) and today is fav meal of Christmas - bubble day to use the last of the cooked veg up, cold meats and pickles

The household consensus was that Christmas dinner was fab all round and accompanied by a lovely bottle of red.

Only downside was 1 hour later when my lad found the pigs-in-blankets still in the fridge.

The best bit was despite my Dad going into hospital on Monday and diagnosed with unstable angina, having a stent fitted and only getting out on Christmas Eve and lunch plans having to be changed from my parents having my grandparents for lunch to parents coming to me and then having to change to eating at my parents because as we moved our table to clear up the switch got knocked off the oven and broke off making it couldn't be switched on and my Mum burning some items because she couldn't concentrate and her kitchen is too small to fit several 'cooks' in and DH 'forgot' how our steamer worked making us wait for the veg, we managed it.

The worst bit was trying a sprout at our meal out yestrday, booked because we didn't think we'd see much of my parents of Christmas day. I tried one to see if they were any nicer than I remembered. They aren't! They don't even taste like food. They taste like I've been invited into some dubious chemistry lab and downed the contents of a test-tube.

What I really want now is for some scientist to replicate the taste I get to give to sprout lovers who query why I don't eat them, then perhaps they'll shut the hell up!

I've not been well, i've had nothing to eat but soup for days now,
