Merry Christmas.
Nothing about the goose, turkey or other as we are having beef, local of course.
Yesterday was interesting as it was Guinea Fowl, must try and grow some for the Summer.
Well done Peter another exam under the belt, if your still undersize perhaps it will help tighten your belt.
Merry Winter Pimm’s Christmas everyone.
Richard

A fairy’s work is never done!
A sprinking of fairy dust to everyone – I hope you all had a merry christmas – and here’s to a happy and healthy new year.
Off to use some of the fairy dust on the house to see if it can recover from the onslaught of rellies yesterday………… more turkey anyone?

Is that Turkey sandwiches, turkey fricassee, turkey curry, turkey burgers or turkey twizzlers?
Richard on 27 Dec 2007 at 8:36 am #
No Twizzlers but soup may be quite nice for a change
( Why no Twizzlers?:
Turkey (34%),
Water,
Pork fat,
Rusk,
Coating (sugar, rusk, tomato powder, wheat starch, dextrose, salt, wheat flour, potassium chloride, hydrogenated vegetable oil, citric acid, spices, onion powder, malt extract, smoke flavourings, garlic powder, colour [E160c], mustard flour, permitted sweetener [E951], herb, spice extracts, herb extracts),
Vegetable oil,
Turkey skin,
Salt,
Wheat flour,
Dextrose,
Stabiliser (E450),
Mustard,
Yeast extract,
Antioxidants (E304, E307, E330, E300),
Herb extract,
Spice extract,
Colour (E162).
Note that the hydrogenated vegetable oil is not in bold only because I do not know how to do that on a blog:) )
At least you know what is in home made soup and stock.
Richard off to more cold beef, salad, sandwiches etc etc

Richard – your Hydrogenated Vegetaqble Oil (isn’t that what we usually call margarine?) has been suitably enboldened!
I have enjoyed the cold roast gammon as much as the turkey – and the boxing day meal with cold meats and pickles… 🙂

How did we used to cope. Christmas Day and Boxing Day schedule.
Christmas Day (Alternate years at an Aunt’s house and ours)
Breakfast.
Presents, mince pies and sausage rolls
Lunch………full roast, pudding, other sweet pudding and cheese.
The Queen
Tea…………Sandwiches jelly and other sweet puddings
Supper……..Plates full of cold meat and pickles and cheese.
Boxing Day (Alternate years at an Aunt’s house and ours, see above)
Repeat as above but no presents and Queen.
Gosh I do not remember feeling full but thinking of it now I suspect I would burst.
Dad’s birthday today (92) which years ago would have meant another day of mighty meals in the family.
Nearly there, Happy New Year everyone

Oh yes – all the relative visiting – but now they come to us! (Probably complaining about visiting the relatives!) I’m sure Vikki ends up doing a “Vicar of Dibley” with three Christmas dinners at various time of the day!
And you are right about the food – as a child we had trurkey and roast pork – then tea (Christmas cake, trifle) then the turkey sandwiches! And that was after breakfast – pork pie and toast! (And that was after a fairly largte meal the night before when the relatives that were staying (usually my grandparents) had arrived!
I certainly couldn’t do that now!
