😂 brilliant! Forgetting something is almost a tradition in our house, but that’s quite the haul. Will you be using it for bubble and squeak?

I know, terrible 😆
will it be okay to use if it hasn’t been in the fridge ?!

Yep, just make sure it’s hot before serving :)

Love it. My dm regularly used to discover the bread sauce on Boxing Day 😁

Telemichus · 26/12/2025 06:56

Bread sauce as I was plating up. We’ll eat it today.

We have to write a list to tick off now.

I ditched the pigs in blankets yesterday as there was so much going on. We'll do them for lunch today instead.

IvySquirrel · 26/12/2025 07:51

Last year I did this with the stuffing. No-one noticed!

topcat2014 · 26/12/2025 07:58

Our pigs in blankets are still in the freezer!

The red cabbage. I'd made it in advance and it just needed reheating, so when I got everything out of the fridge I popped it straight into the microwave to have one less thing cluttering up the sides. I discovered it when I opened the microwave again to cook the Xmas pudding about 9 hours later! It will be eaten as part of today's dinner instead.

That sounds like a great breakfast or lunch with no extra cooking effort. It will be fine having been out of the fridge, unless your house is super hot.

Peas were found in the microwave when a plate of seconds was reheated.

Second tray of stuffing found about six hours later.

Sense of humour wasn't lost at any point fortunately.

Red cabbage in the microwave
Forgot to buy custard

Whattheduck · 26/12/2025 09:07

I couldn’t find the Christmas pudding so did mince pies with brandy sauce instead
After everyone had gone and I was putting things away I found it behind a loaf of bread in the cupboard (the cupboard I didn’t check originally).Will have it on New Year’s Day.

Parsnips came to light this morning here

We found two cold sausages from 23rd still in the oven on 24th. Nothing missed from Christmas dinner this year but I twice made then forgot to serve bread sauce so I’ve given up on it now.
