What have you eaten today…Christmas edition

[GreatBigBeautifulTommorow]

Recovering from covid so not much appetite.
eaten bits of a Christmas lunch earlier and just debating a bowl of trifle.

what have you eaten today?

Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, brown bread and 1/2 bottle champagne for brunch, 12 mini macaroons during the day and about to have beef that's been in the sous vide all day with roasties, YP, honey and mustard carrots, braised cabbage and gravy. Might squeeze in another mini macaroon after!!

A crumpet with butter and Marmite
A handful of sour cream and onion Pringles
Crab starter
Porchetta , hassleback potatoes, brussel sprouts, carrots, stuffing, crispy kale and gravy.

@ladywithnomanors Oooh could just eat some marmite, none in the house typically.

Pain au chocolat and a pain au raisin with strawberries and pineapple.

Christmas dinner :- roast chicken, gingerbread stuffing, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, braised red cabbage, maple syrup carrots and parsnips, sprouts, gravy.

Couple of quality street and a matchmaker.

Waiting till the kids go to bed then going to sit down with a leftovers sandwich and some pringles

Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel for breakfast. Dinner was out and pate on toast to start, followed by traditional turkey dinner (which was huge and too much) followed by what I could pick at from a cheese board (it was already paid for so it felt like a waste at least not trying).

The leftover turkey from mine abd DSs meals has been brought home for the dogs. There was A LOT.

The worlds greediest hot chocolate
A flat bread, smashed avocado, 2 mozzarella and tomato parcels
A small home made banana muffin

We all have covid and are utterly wiped out so no Christmas dinner today

@BobbitWorm sounds lovely! Is it ok for dogs to eat turkey? I can never remember and DDog was eyeing the left overs earlier?

Breakfast - smoked trout & Philadelphia bagel
Snack - Dips & tortilla chips
Late lunch - spiced topside of beef, roasties, parsnips & chantenay carrots in a maple syrup & thyme glaze, petitpois, sprouts ( only for DH), beef gravy.
Will have a cold beef sandwich later with cold roasties on the side.

Peach bellini for breakfast, then not much except a New Berry fruit and some twiglets (cheesy footballs for DH) till we ate Christmas lunch at 4pm as we decided that with only ourselves to please we could eat late.

For dinner - lobster halves with a buttered brown roll and lemon, then rib of beef, roast potatoes, honey parsnips, carrots, sprouts, pigs in blankets and stuffing.

A mini wispa from DH's selection box.

We were going to have supper of cold beef sandwiches later but I don't think I'll bother as still feeling stuffed.

I hope so! They enjoyed it anyway. I think it's just if it is very seasoned, salty or the bones that can be problematic.

We had xmas dinner at the pub and wouldn't do it again. It wasn't good which is a shame as it was lovely last year at the same place which is within walking distance.
We had baked camembert for starter - served on its own with 3/4 tiny crouton scattered over.
Turkey dinner which was not nice
Chocolate tart which was sloppy and tasteless. All for £75 a head.
Now baking bread for pate.

B - grilled bacon, poached egg, baked beans
L - chicken Rogan Josh, small portion of rice, 1 Samosa, 1/2 pt of lager
Snacks - 2 mince pies, handful of Quality Street, Bailey's in coffee

No dinner
