Phil Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Oh my goodness that was immense, buttered crown of chicken, pork with garlic and truffle butter, roast and mashed potatoes carrots and peas. Struggling to move now. Did the usual dishing up at the local homeless centre at dinner time. I find that apart from a hot meal and some clean new clothes lots of homeless people just really appreciate someone sitting and chatting with them Edited December 25, 2021 by Phil 6 "Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice, socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality" - Mikhail Bakunin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRL Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 12 hours ago, CornwallRL said: Made the Roast Red pepper & tomato soup yesterday, just peeled spuds, snips & cleaned & trimmed sprouts, baked the bread to go with everything, flat smells lovely. Stuffing balls to be cooked separately, in oven with pigs in blanket, spuds & snips, carrots par boiled, then fried with cumin seeds, sprouts parboiled, then finished, fried with pancetta. Alcohol free Christmas Note for future, oil the stuffing & pigs pan first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Well that went alright. Didn't mess the cooking up, pees didn't steam quite like I thought they would but managed to quickly save them by whacking them in a pan and boiling them up while I was serving up everything else. There was one heated argument about the seating plan early in the day but after retreating to different rooms and sitting and taking a few deep breath there was some quick apologies and we got on like nothing had even happened. Spent the rest of the day watching a couple of films and reading some books I got, pretty straight forward Christmas in the Goose household! Hope everyone else enjoyed themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copa Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) It’s been great. My kids think I’m the best dad ever because I managed to get an Xbox series X for them. Those things are hard to find in Australia. Also went for a swim in the lake. Edited December 25, 2021 by Copa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRL Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I had the best crimbo in a long time. Best cards selection (last year I had 2 cards, this year 14), great presents, and an ex employer called round with a bottle of whisky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be my eldest lads last one before he becomes a dad himself, so it's been a sort of landmark. Drinking with kids and arguing about snowflakes etc (but all in good fun) Pub this afternoon and see what develops there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
