Did you forget to cook/serve anything yesterday?

Happens to me every bloody year. I should write a list/menu next year so I don’t leave anything out!

Forgot 3 things yesterday but it’s where the fridge gets so full and some things get lost at the back and forgotten about.

DH’s tenderstem broccoli (broccoli with a roast is a no from me so it wouldn’t have crossed my mind unless I’d seen it) luckily DH forgot too until about an hour after dinner!

The cream to go with the yule log (was too busy scoffing out directly out of the box in all honesty).

Air fryer party food bits. I put the cheese board out but forgot all the party food stuff I had got from M&S. There’s now a load of stuff on the bottom shelf of my fridge that needs demolishing so may have to pick on that over the next couple of nights!

Irrelevant but highly recommend the waitrose brown sugar hollandaise sauce. Been having it each morning over poached eggs and it’s absolutely delicious. Saves on the washing up and truly better than any homemade. Absolutely beautiful.

Yep forgot to serve the spiced beef, after cooking and slicing it and all! By the time I realised we were just finished dinner and everyone was stuffed!

I intentionally forgot to buy Christmas pudding. They had to have it. I had to buy it. It wouldn't be Christmas without it. Despite it never being eaten because everyone was too full.

It was never even mentioned and everyone was happy with the ton of cake and chocolate we had. They still haven't realised 🤣

Forgot the cranberry and the crackers. Crackers were on the table but friend was here with her dog and he doesn't like bangs so we saved them for later and promptly forgot. As for the cranberry DH is happy as he has a ton of leftover Turkey and now he has two jars of cranberry sauce to go with it. Happy days.

I forgot to buy any Christmas crackers or Christmas serviettes.....but I did ace the Christmas dinner. So quite pleased with myself this year.....and I even cooked sprouts even tho I hate them 😂😂

I totally forgot the starter (as in - did not even buy stuff for it as i had forgotten- usually smoked salmon and caviar) and also the cheese and fruit course.

No matter. We ate huge amounts and had banana splits with all the trimmings for pudding. I doubt anyone noticed.
