There are ten of us this year, I will be doing the cooking for the first time in two years now that I am out of the wheelchair. Last year I got absolutely slaughtered, my wife and her friend cooked the “lunch” we sat down at about 5pm after two hours at the pub and home for bottles of Cremant de Bourgogne and a litre of Tanqueray. This year eating at 2.30pm not going to pub. For the first time in the 19 years we have been married we will be having turkey, serving it with roasties, sherry glazed parsnips, carrots, sprouts and bacon wrapped chipolatas. (just finished prepping them). Made some fresh cranberry sauce infused with orange peel this morning. Last night I made the stuffing using sausage meat, fresh sage and thyme along with finely chopped celery, onion and breadcrumbs. Starting with various nibbles and Cremant de Bourgogne then homemade potted shrimps and toasted Poilane bread. Served with St Romain ‘09 Main course with Cloudy Bay pinot noir 2008 Cheese – Epoises, Stilton, Gorganzola and Lancashire, more Cloudy Bay Christmas Pud and (or) trifle served with 40 year old Taylors tawny port. Fart and belch then........................ Buffet!! Made a ham this morning along with pork pies and venison sausage rolls, turkey sarnies, salad etc.
Hope you all enjoy yourselves.

We had homemade game terrine followed by turkey and duck, roasts, mash, roasted carrots and parsnips, pigs in blankets, spouts done with pancetta and chestnuts, homemade stuffing and delicious port gravy. We also made both desserts of tiamaria choc chscake and a lemon meringue pie.
Lovely it was.

A copy of Michel Roux's new book, Desserts, magically appeared in my stocking on Christmas morning - and two individual, cardamom-scented rice puddings with caramel are now in the oven.
They will be served with freshly segmented mandarins, with the juice mixed with any caramel remaining in the ramekins.
