Umm - sorry - I know it's only October, but I've just agreed to cater for DH's family again this year - all 10 of them, because a) dh's father has died this summer so it'll be his mums first xmas on her own and i can't see her being overly enthustiastic about catering for everyone, b) i'll be 6 months pg and don't want to traipse halfway across the country to see them all as i'll be too tired, and c) if I don't do it we'll end up being offered something distinctly unapplealing as none of his siblings can cook (as was demonstrated at a recent get together after which dh stated "never again").
So....my question is - what to cook. I don't really want to do a huge sit down as it's so much work and i will be knackered - dh suggested more of a buffet style Xmas lunch.
Any ideas? So far can't get past pudding ideas - a Buche Noel, champagne jelly and a trifle. Thought about making a big tureen of soup for starters - parsnip perhaps. Main courses no idea.....still want it to be Xmassy but as make ahead as possible.....
all ideas gratefully recieved
