Yeah, I hate it when the days start to get longer. The shortest day was the 21st December, wasn’t it? Recorded this video of myself.

 

Those 7 minutes of daylight around 1pm must have been a living hell

Having Turkey but got a big Turkey crown instead of a full bird. I think it'll be easier to cook, less fucking about with bones etc.

Yeah going to be like one of them American Turducken monstrosities but not sure it'll fit in the oven. Might have to Aussie Aboriginal and just do a cooking pit

Haha. To be honest, mate, money is scarce this year, so we just spent the little we had on something we’ll enjoy, a ploughman’s and additional cheese and biscuits.

Sounds like a good use of funds mate. Bit of solid grub and good company (just the food for mrs moanero though unfortunately). Have a goodun

[Teasmaid]

Completely juxtaposed to this thread, I got a turkey crown and then bottled it last minute that there wouldn’t be enough, so I went out and bought a whole turkey yesterday. They’re currently both in the oven. I bloody hate turkey as well.

Roast turkey, expertly spiced and glazed, with gravy, homemade bread sauce, and cranberry sauce. What’s alternative about it I hear you ask? So we asked the butcher to cut the bird into five pieces, dry-brined it earlier, now it’s ready for roasting. Real psyched. Apparently the best way to do turkey.

Restaurants open on Christmas Day? I've never noticed. 

[Lee909]

Sorry but best way to do turkey is bin it and buy nice meat

 

Anyway

 

Starting my Xmas now

May or may not have a small pour of Highland Park 12 depending on who's reading

I did a rib of beef for tea tonight.  Loads left for tea tomorrow.  I shall be fat for NY. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Did the German Xmas eve last night. Lamb fillet, usual roasted spuds, carrots and parsnips in Goose fat, Broccoli in a Bechamel sauce topped with cheese and baked, Creamed mashed spuds, peppercorn and bearnaise sauces. Lots of family doing their own thing today so it's a Sheppard's pie and left overs, doing traditional Roast Turkey dinner tomorrow when we all get back together, looking forward to a relaxing day with no stress if I'm honest. 

 

[Anubis]

What the fuck is this deviancy. Tomato sauce?

Absolute wanker.

I would imagine chosing a tipple from your elaborate drinks shelf is akin to trying to find something on Netflix- endless choice and possibilities.

 

Love hummus (houmas or Hamas or biwever its spelt). 

 

The chick pea is a noble legume.
