thanks! mmmm.

I've made that Nigella ham thing and it is fab!

I'm going to ex-DH for Christmas, so don't want to do anything too time-consuming or too festively special.
I'm doing balsamic chicken pie with root vegetable topping, and my favourite pan-fried shredded sprouts, bacon & chestnuts.

Full stop.

And then, im outta there! 

Roast duck with cherry sauce
Baked Ham
Potatoes Dauphinoise
Red cabbage in balsamic dressing
Garlic french beans

Cheese board
Chocolate christmas pudding
Pecan pumpkin pie
Christmas cake (my own recipe so beware...)
Pumpkin bread

And a turkey crown in case anyone is craving that!

Stephanie has inspired me and I'm going to do a crown of turkey too.  But do tell ... how do you cook the turkey and ham at the same time.  Please don't tell me you have a double oven!

My ham will be boiled the night before so all it needs is its glaze/burnishing/re-heating time.

I have a double oven     piece of crap double oven, but double nonetheless!!! 

And we're buying the ham from the butcher, already baked..... Other half insisted that we had to have a bit of turkey for boxing day leftovers...since i'll be shucking that duck clean of anything as it's my fave!

Christmas is always steak on the bbq with all the fixings. This year we are having asparagus, roast potatoes, green salad.  I think Keith is going to make a praline semifreddo for desert.  Port and cheese board for when the kiddies are finally in bed.

We go this the MIL's for Boxing day and over eat there. Then we go to his dad's on the 27th for yet another holiday meal.  

Hogmanay is always steak pie, mash and veg with some sort of yummy chocolate goodness for desert.  

My parents are coming, so I'm doing an English-style Christmas dinner:
fennel and herb stuffed turkey breast
roast potatoes
brussels sprouts
roast parsnips (with maple syrup if the parents bring some!)
cranberry sauce
cran-orange relish (my mother says this is mandatory)
bread sauce
gravy, maybe
Christmas pudding with cream

But breakfast is a family tradition: cornbread, sausages, and orange sauce. *drool*

We're planning on a walk in the Lake District on Boxing Day if the weather cooperates, so it'll probably be sandwiches.

And then, im outta there! 

Awww..don't you want to stay and play Scrabble all night?
