On the clear understanding that we will be eating the leftovers for weeks...

Starter: No idea. Neither Rob nor the children are that keen on melon, which was traditional in my family.

Main course: Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, roast carrots and parsnips, steamed carrots, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, two kinds of gravy, bread stuffing, bread sauce, apple sauce, cranberry sauce, mustard. No sausage stuffing, spiced beef, horseradish etc, we definitely don't have enough people.

Dessert: Trifle. For which we need to make and freeze the sponges soon. And buy the fruit and sherry. Also, some sort of snow-scene decorated cake, but not a fruit cake, because none of like like actual Christmas cake. Perhaps an iced bara brith? Mainly we'll be eating the trifle, anyway.

There is a shopping list a-growing. I need to decide where I'll buy the ham. And how big.

We have 'starter' for late brekka in the form of scrambled eggs topped with smoked salmon. Keeps us going until the dinner finally shows up. We are having a cockerel this year from the farm shop - which I've never done before and we have the in-laws coming so I shall prob deal with the cooking pressure by getting slightly soused.

Hey, at least you have an oven. We're probably going to have to postpone Gallery Christmas to January, as there is no oven workingness :(
