JUST REMEMBER MUMMYS AND DADDYS 😂😂😂
Christmas Dinner....
I have concluded that the inevitable stress of Christmas dinner is created by adverts and supermarkets....
It's a Sunday dinner for !!!!s sake. We do it quite happily 51 weeks of the year but can we the consumers be trusted to manage by ourselves on one day of the year, apparently not! ...
Here goes...
1. Turkey... It's a big !!!!!!! chicken that's all, 20 minutes per lb plus 20 minutes at 180 degrees - jobs a good un! Get yourselves a meat thermometer £3 off the Internet poke it in the offending bird if it says 75 degrees or over its cooked!
2. Stuffing - regardless of what Jamie Oliver says you do NOT need 2lbs of shoulder of pork, onions breadcrumbs,pine nuts and a !!!! load of fresh herbs to make stuffing.... What you need is Paxo and a kettle!! If you wanna liven it up squeeze 3 sausages out of their skins and mix that in with your Paxo before cooking 😉.
3. Gravy - Jamie Oliver is copping for this one aswell....
Bisto Jamie.... All you need is Bisto!
4. Vegetables. Never mind faffing round shredding sprouts and frying them with bacon and chestnuts to make them more palatable, If you don't like them don't buy and cook the !!!!!!! things. If your family only eats frozen peas then that's good enough!
5. Roast potatoes. Yes I part boil mine then roast them in goose fat or whatever you want to use, but Aunt Bessie also does the same 😉.
6. Trimmings,Christmas pudding Mincepies and the like, whatever shop you use or do what I do bake them yourself
7. Family. Children, Feed the little blighters first separately, if they only want turkey with tomato sauce fine leave em to it, it doesn't matter. Once they are fed begger them off to play with their Christmas presents so that YOU can enjoy your dinner in Peace!
Adults. Anyone that can manage to get their sorry arrse to your dinner table is also capable of helping to serve up/ sort the kids out/ clear the table /wash up /dry up etc.
And Finally.....
NO ONE, And I mean no one APART FROM THE COOK IS ALLOWED TO GET P1SSED AND FALL ASLEEP BEFORE THE WASHING UP IS DONE!!!
Rant over

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: but it is just a Sunday roast . I don’t like Aunt Bessie’s, rather do my own

Christmas Love To You



Oh the crowds outside are frightful,
And I need a sherry trifle,
That Star is shining above, so
Let us love! Let us love! Let us love!
Smile at the crowds when shopping,
Even though you feel like flopping,
Instead of giving a shove
Let us love! Let us love! Let us love!
Tonight we'll cuddle up all snug,
We won't need help from mistletoe
Entwined on the fireside rug,
Never wanting to let you go.
The fire is slowly dying,
And here we are still lying
Christmas is here again
Let us love! Let us love! Let us love!

Beautiful xx

Android pay.
Well the plot thickens. I used it in the pub last night and it worked fine. I just cant work it out why it didnt work in a garage and a shop. Might give it one more go in a shop.

Very... That with a nice dry day and it being Christmas Eve Eve I just couldn't help myself... Thinking of popping back around 7pm too. The amount of food on the reduced shelf was :eek: :eek: :eek:

Must have been 100 packs of chicken breast... Wouldn't mind that for the freezer at £0.20 a pack :beer:

I must not go out

I must not go out

Repeat 100 times:o

Haven't made a trifle in years, my step grandmother used to make the most wonderful sherry trifle, but there was no way anyone was fit to drive afterwards. She would make the sponge then soak it in sherry, and she used to make the jelly with sherry too :eek::eek:

Just how I make mine hic

Eek! I have a haunted :xmastree:

That's twice now over the past few days that it has turned its lights on by itself :eek:

When I was shopping yesterday, the special stuffing I like for Christmas was sold out - only rum n raisin left.
So I've been making my own today in my 40+ year old food processor. It was one of my first buys when I was away at Uni - and it still works perfectly

Nearly time to sit down with a Bishop's Finger and relax :beer:
