Christmas Thread. Warning food references!!!!

Got the goose today :clap: £14.99 from Lidl as I'm told they are really nice.

Twas a toss up between goose and pheasant (also from lidl). Went for the goose as I would have needed 2 pheasants and so more hassle.

Got some extra goose fat aswell for the spuds and roast brussels :clap:

Bought some other bits and pieces and now eating some so that I can be sure they are nice enough for Christmas

How's everyone else doing?

Bought chocolates and champagne.

Away for Christmas and that is what I was asked to bring!

KD when your goose is cooked - in the literal and not the metaphorical sense - you will have so much fat from it that you will be able to supply us all!!!!

That was easy then!

You'll be lucky. I'll freeze the leftover fat to use all year round

I received a bottle of champagne from a student. The little girl told me to look after it because it cost £45. She said her Dad said "How much!!!!" and it caused a stinking row evidently.

Makes a nice change from all the red wine I tend to get. Lovely thought, but I don't like red wine. Have loads of the stuff in the garage now. About 80-90 bottles

Now DS1 is all grown up, he'll be getting a bottle a week forever.

Shame really, especially since I spend all term telling them how much I love bubble bath and candles.

Red wine. Wonderful, I adore the stuff. I will be round KD! Swap you for bubble bath and candles.

I swear that every single ounce of my avoirdupois was gained from red wine.

I did wonder about whether AA would have been a better choice.

Well, I would offer to take some of the red wine KD, but as you know I don't like the stuff! Well not since Saturday night when I inadvertantly over indulged! I know, I'm bad!

Christmas -wise, getting there! Bought a big gammon yesterday to cook next weekend and the turkey is on order. Presents - nearly done, just a couple to wrap now so thats pretty good. This week is wall to wall with children's parties, 3 nurseries = 3 parties! My DH gets to be FC for about 400 children, teach him to be all 'humbug'!

Looking forward to Christmas, I always do actually but I'm really in the mood this year!
