ailbheOn 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.
