Started at about 9 this morning and just finished the prep. The Ham has been completed. Infused with cloves and a marmalade and syrup coating | Click to see full-size image. |
 Mrs Geo does a mean meat loaf which we use as a substitute to stuffing. This has been semi-completed as we slice it just before serving and give it a quick fry | Click to see full-size image. |
 Tatties peeled and sprouts prepared. | Click to see full-size image. |
 These will both be par-boiled and then tatties into tray of spitting hot goose fat and roasted in oven. Brussels will be stir fried with pancetta ham, chopped chestnuts and honey Parsnips and carrots prepared with oil and rosemary. Last 15 mins of their roasting will be covered in syrup to caramelise up a bit. | Click to see full-size image. |

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me i didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.

ok xmas dinner at my bro's, contents of which listed above. 11 adults and 4 children to feed. 1 - personalised placemats (the table was nicely laid until 2 year old Jake thought he could make it look a bit better ) | Click to see full-size image. |
 2 - My plate (minus green beans and carrots which had been accidentally omitted from the spread early doors, and without gravy or cranberry sauce due to personal preference) - i can't get this pic rotated without it going all freaky | Click to see full-size image. |
 3 - tucking in | Click to see full-size image. |
 4 - pudding. traditional xmas pudding foregone in favour of an eton mess type concoction containing ice cream, meringue, brownie pieces and brandy cream. yum. | Click to see full-size image. |

Very nice Claire, but no gravy or cranberry sauce?
WTF? What a weirdo!
I'm afraid this may have damaged our chances of future happiness. (a bit)
