....Gosh, how glad am I all the eating is over? Christmas day was a hoot - spent hours alternating between the kitchen and the lounge where I watched FG cuss and swear at his new game I bought him (evil grin). At around half one we sat down to a giant meal of a smidge of roast potatoes, roast parsnips coated with maple syrup glaze, garlic potato au grautin (the roast potatoes were more of a token, this year) , grilled peppers, lightly boiled broccoli and tiny canonballs smothered with fresh pepper and grated cheese, perfectly roast beef in a wine sauce and gammon wrapped in smoked bacon smothered with apricot jam, just for colour and extra flavouring. Holy heck - it was a lot of food - FG is still eating roast beef sarnies. But it was gorgeous! And thank heavens I only do it once a year.
FG made a scrumptious trifle which we nibbled at, I had also made a mouthwatering chocolate sunken souffle (so easy!) which we are still nibbling on as it is so incredibly moist...
It was good eating. I reiterate - thank heavens I only do it once a year!
Grin.
The rest of the holiday period was sitting around, reading, sleeping, eating, walks in the park, working on the old novel...good fun.
How droll that it has to stop.
Pout.
Here's hoping we win cazillions on the Euromillion...if we do, everyone gets to be invited to the Wolseley for cheesecake and champagne!

All sounds lovely (for carnivores) but, er ...
'cannonballs'??
Wow, that's a lot of food! How were you able to even move on Boxing Day!
'canonballs' are the little green things...gods, I never remember what they are called, hence the nicname 'canonballs' - brussel sprouts, just checked with FG.
And Cheezy...move on Boxing Day? You have to be joking - lol!
