For breakfast.....to get the day off to a good start..
Buttered toast and Nutella and hot tea.... - this was so lovely!
A dear Aunt always used to have Nutella,when we visited her on weekend occasions, and the treat was always very much appreciated, by all of us! So delicious!
For Christmas lunch........
A huge roast chicken
Roasted potatoes and parsnips
Brussel Sprouts with chestnuts
Caramelised carrots
Bacon wrapped chipolatas
Giblet gravy
Bread sauce
Cranberry sauce
Lovely, lovely food......must admit, I helped over-cook our bird, just a tiny, tiny bit....but it was still jolly good and the wine was great, too!
Dishwasher and hand-washing up, followed swiftly by a brisk walk in the park, followed just as swiftly, by a brisk retreat to the cosiness of a cosy sofa...
For supper.....Ah, the delights of the supper table!
Hot sausage rolls
Cheese board
Assorted cheese biscuits
Pate
Quince Paste from Selfridges
My home-made chutney - Apple and Elderberry
Grapes, dates and figs
Dessert wine
A Christmas Pudding from Mr. Tesco
Brandy butter also from Mr. Tesco
Ice-cream for the little ones - I had some too - smashing!!!
Then, once the little ones were safely in bed, the house quiet and Dr. Who was commanding the sitting room,
chocolates, Ferrero Rocker and warming drinks to keep out the chill night air.......
Followed deliciously by Downton Abbey ......... whoooooo oooooo!
