To ask what you had for breakfast?

[Merryoldgoat]

Lighthearted

I’ve had a few hard weeks but having cancelled all plans for the next few days, things are looking up. DH, kids and I are having some PJ days with very little effort involved.

So what wondrous feast did you have for breakfast?

I had:

1 parsnip
1 carrot poached on butter
2 roast potatoes dipped in ketchup
5 forkfuls of Black Forest Gateau
Handful of grapes
Diet Coke

Currently watching Groundhog Day and considering a second plate, maybe this time consisting of cheese.

Toblerone and tea.

Yule log.....

Might crack open the savoury party selection in a bit

Panettone
Salmon pate on crackers
Christmas pudding
Coffee.
I may feel a little ill soon!!

Cheerios 🤷‍♀️

Yule log here too. Made by my mum. Devine. With a big cup of Earl Grey.

This thread shows exactly why we have an obesity crisis.

ONLY JOKING!
Two Lindors, smoked salmon and soda bread, giant coffee, two chocolate covered lebkuchen, giant cup of tea and slice of dark chocolate orange.

Oh, thank fuck for that! You almost got me there!

Toast with cream cheese and smoked salmon. Then a chocolate wafer. Then ice cream.

A mini gingerbread cheesecake

This is the best thread of the year

3 cups of tea and some cold stuffing balls.
Cracking open the cheese at 1pm.

A fry up and some chocolate

Nink I was going to do it as two separate posts but thought people might not clock the same name on the second and just think I was a knob

(Really I am just pre-empting the one poster who will come on and say this seriously See also - why do people buy so much food for what is effectively just one day, and a glorified roast dinner)

Breaded camembert dipped in cranberry sauce, posh crisps and a cherry liquouor chocolate - I considered the breaded prawns until DH reminded me they'd spent most of the day sat on the coffee table in our warm sitting room.

It was great! 👍

For further fun and inspiration, here is what we’ve got planned for today and tomorrow:

Today:

Lunch: Guinea fowl sandwiches with all the trimmings (basically a full Christmas dinner in sandwich form, without the roast potatoes). No alcohol because we’ve got driving duties today.

Whittards ‘Christmas tea’ with Christmas cake. Biscuits (Danish butter cookies, Swedish gingerbread cookies).

Dinner: Sirloin steak with King Prawns in garlic and butter sauce, roasted courgette, cherry tomatoes and smoked garlic, duchess potatoes. Pinot noir to go with it.

Snacks and nibbles as and when throughout the evening. Probably some port and Stilton, too.

Tomorrow:

Breakfast: Nigella’s Christmas muffins, with Prosecco, Chambord and fresh raspberry.

Lunch: Smoked salmon on German grain bread, with more Prosecco.

Christmas tea and cake.

Dinner: Pasta puttanesca (so tasty!) with an Italian red.

Again, snacks and nibbles/port and cheese as and when.

Saturday or Sunday we’re doing Christmas dinner 2.0 with my daughters, with whatever meat or bird catches our fancy on our first post-Christmas shopping trip.

I love stretching Christmas out for as long as possible!

Cup of normal tea with milk
Dollop of hummus with a small bit of pitta
Fruit tea
Indigestion

Left over ham, 2 fried eggs, bread and butter, 2 cups of coffee and a bowl of fruit salad and trifle

Red pepper houmous with sweet chilli and Dorset sour cream pita chips, some mango, two cups of tea

The best bit was tipping the last little chips into the houmous pot and eating it with a spoon

Can of diet coke, some pork crackling just out the oven and a chock swiss roll, now having a can of larger (I never drink larger in the house???).

I am normally very sensible with what I eat!

But now eyeing up some turkey and stuffing fancy some just cold on a small plate with some cranberry sauce, then getting ready to watch the racing.....oh, just spotted some chipsticks...

I had an apple and an orange...

And then I thought "fuck it" and had tuna mayo in a freshly baked roll.

Oh and do had a huge sandwich with about 9 pigs n blankets and ketchup.

I am not sure what the children had!! ( though those selection boxes look quite depleted and there are empty tubes of smarties under the table)

Half a soft white roll with butter on and the flaky bits of ham and turkey left after carving on top. Some bits of stuffing and gravy heated and thrown over it all.
2 chocolate truffles for 'pudding'

I had Tesco bake at home croissant and cinnamon swirls with some spicy nuts

Galaxy chocs, smoked salmon and cream cheese on brown toast (leftover from yesterday).
