What are you making for dinner?

Christmas dinner again tonight!

Against all expectations, this year's meal was one of my best. Only drank 7.5% Lambrini (embarrassing, but honestly, we won it at late mum in law's care home tombola a while ago) while video calling family in S'ton & others, before meal @ 15.00.

Then, due to combination of lockdown/house move/general 70 year old brain, I wrote down timings for everything and it worked! Food was great & plenty for tonight.

Our last Christmas here after 20 years wasn't as big a letdown as expected

Kerri, the replacement gin is on my tesco click and collect for Tuesday  it's a birthday gift luckily. Birthday is 30th of December.

Most of our Christmas meat has gone, so I'm pleased about that. I also made a big pan of root mash, mashed potatoes and Delia's red cabbage and filled the freezer where the gaps had started to appear. That should come in handy over the next few months.

Tonight we had a half side of salmon  bought on offer from Iceland. The box said it would serve 4 to 6. I'm not sure how. I never have a lot of salmon, the other two had average portions and it was gone. We had it with roasted vegetables, dauphinose potatoes and kale. Theres a mincemeat frangipane slice in the cupboard that we will have later, maybe with custard.

Christmas day was Christmas dinner with starter of mozzarella sticks and pate and toast. Couldn't fit a pudding in.
Last night I had two waffles and finally pudding black forest gateau
Today we did a home made afternoon tea. And then for dinner I am making turkey curry with a jar.

Tonight was a cheeseboard and turkey and vegetable soup. Had a mince pie for dessert.

I used some of the leftover turkey to make a pie with turkey, leek, peas and sweetcorn in a cream sauce. It was really tasty. We ate half, and will finish that off tomorrow night.

Steak, chips HM, few mushrooms past best but fine when fried I'm sure, ditto few cherry tomatoes be fine when cooked. Peppercorn sauce. Was going to get take away but no point really when we have food in.

Muntjac curry, following the Goan chicken curry recipe from the Curry Secret cookbook. With peshwari naans. 

Excuse the mid-cooking state of the cooker! Did a big batch of the base sauce so we can have another curry on NYE.

Pork belly and cauliflower and broccoli cheese and mince pie for pudding but with almond flour rather than normal flour and cranberries rather than sultanas etc as they are lower in carbs.

JIL

Lasagne for the meat eaters and macaroni cheese with broccoli for me. Used up bits of cheese, milk, broccoli and some mushrooms. Served with salad, to use that up and garlic bread using a leftover bake at home baguette.
