“
yesterday I par boiled all my veg, spouts, carrots, parsnips and potatoes. I always par boil potatoes and freeze ready for roasting. I then pour some oil over them and roast from frozen they come out very crisp and floury in the middle. I got the tip from Good housekeeping a few years ago and it has never failed. I will cook the turkey breast on 24th, slice it all ready for 25th. We have 10 this year for lunch and at the moment my husband is in hospital, we are hoping he will be home on 25th. I have prepared everything to make my life easier on the day. Will sort the dining room out at the weekend ie table etc and cover with plastic dust sheet. Still have not put up the tree, will try to do it today.

Hope your husband's out for Christmas Rev229, great forward planning with the veg, best of luck.
I was wondering, can I cook my huge joint of beef the day before then slice it up and chuck it in the slow cooker with HM gravy? I was thinking it might be lovely and juicy and tender after sitting in hot gravy for a day, or will it just fall apart?
Still haven't decided on best way to cook the gammon and I have not got a clue how I am meant to reheat/cook all the veg in my tiny oven, especially now our microwave is bust and I can't reheat anything in that.
How do I reheat carrot/swede mash now it's frozen?
Beginning to regret my freezing frenzy now I don't have the MW!
