Christmas Dinner - Page 4

My Mummy was in Canada for Christmas, so I ended up cooking

Our crimble dinner was quite nice even if I do say so myself.

We had... Turkey, roast potatoes, mashed poatato, roast parsnips, carrots, sprouts, yorkshire puds, sausages wrapped in bacon, cheese wrapped in bacon, bread sauce (as tradition dictates, the bread sauce was home made, and it kicked ass!), stuffing, and of course gravy (although the gravy was asda extra special and it wasnt very nice)

And on new years day, I did roast beef. The butchers local to my mum sell excellent local beef, and the slab we had was about £40 worth. I cooked it to perfection (haha, Mark thought I'd ruin it!), and we had roast potatoes (which Mark said were excellent), carrots, sprouts, stuffing, sausages in bacon, cheese in bacon, yorkshire puds, and good old bisto beef gravy.

And now my parents have been back for a few weeks, we'll be having crimble dinner here in a few weeks when Mark is next here. No-one in the entire world could outdo my Mum when it comes to crimble dinner, it's the best meal ever imho.

We will be having.... turkey, beef, honey roast ham, roast pots and parsnips, mash, bread sauce, stuffing, sprouts, carrots, mushy peas (tradition in our house), cauliflower, broccoli, yorkshire puds, leeks, peas, swede, cheese in bacon, sausages in bacon, I have to stop now, I'm drooling. But we will be having probably 12 different types/cooking style veg, and all the trimmings.

It'll be self service as always, Mum has one of those hostess trolley things with all the dishes in and stuff. And of course, I'll eat too much as always, but it wouldnt be crimble dinner without falling asleep infront of the telly afterwards!

And of course, we'll be having bubble and squeak the next day. I cant wait!
