What have you eaten and drunk today?

[festivesprinkles]

I needed a few minutes pause halfway through my Christmas dinner. This is unusual and I was surprised but I've been eating less generally lately due to being busy/cba and not snacking anything like I normally do. Don't worry, I soon recovered and finished my veg but did give away my Yorkshire puddings to the dc. I just didn't fancy them which again is odd. I then managed a further 2 stuffing balls while chatting to my mum and finishing my wine. We were chatting about how we don't know how people can have a starter, main course, pudding, cheese and crackers etc all at one sitting. We don't even have meat although we did when I was a child.

Part of today may have been the fact I was co stay my on the go as mums often are and spending ages in the kitchen seems to decrease my appetite.

Breakfast: homemade cinnamon bun and two cups of tea

Second (more reasonable hour) breakfast: a fried potato sandwich

Christmas dinner: honey roast parsnips and carrots, roast potatoes, marrow fat peas, broccoli, cranberry sauce, stuffing balls x4 (or was it 5) and a glass of wine

Pudding (several hours later): homemade sticky gingerbread Bundt cake

Supper: cheese and crackers (5)

Baileys while watching Call the Midwife

About 5 chocolates, 2 chocolate biscuits, one after eight mint, 3 cheesy Doritos and a few glasses of water.

Oh and a mince pie.

What did you have? Traditional or not? Family traditions that others might find weird? Tell me your Christmas Day gastronomic delights.

Seems I ate everything in sight. Feel sick but happy sick .....

I like these threads!

Scrambled egg on toast for breakfast with coffee

No breakfast. 2x glasses of Buck’s Fizz around 11:30 while opening presents at mum’s house. Christmas dinner, pate and two small pieces of crusty bread to start, then turkey and all the trimmings at 1:30pm. Fell asleep on sofa after clearing everything away and then dessert around 4pm.

Cup of tea when I got up.

Smoked salmon, homemade soda bread and scrambled egg with bucks fizz around 11am. Couple of macaroons (pressies).

Uncorked the plum liqueur and nespero (almond) liqueurs we made in the summer after dinner. Fucking delicious.

Finished off with a rum truffle. Probably 90% rum, 10% truffle. Yum.

Three of us have been grazing on a buffet meant for 10 and 7 of them couldn’t come due to bastard COVID!

Only a few more sausage rolls to go 🐷

Ooh…

Breakfast: cup of tea, porridge and berries

Lunch: turkey, roast potatoes, green beans, carrots, peas, Yorkshire pudding, gravy. I didn't cook this year and missed the roast carrot and parsnips! No pudding.

Dinner: some leftover turkey, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding with gravy.

Just realised I haven't eaten anything sweet today. But I have eaten about 30 roast potatoes

We spoilt ourselves! Breakfast: jus roll mini pain au chocolat- too many (DP had the mini cinnamon rolls) and an orange. Washed down with a cup of tea. Then we opened a bottle of champagne.

Lunch: braised goulash meatballs. Bigger than normal portions as it's DPs favourite & it's Xmas. Oliver Twist chocolate mousse with cointreau. Washed down with a glass of malbec from a bottle we received this morning.

Dinner: we didn't really bother but we had x2 lindor bon bons each and some Terrys Dark Chocolate Orange for me, and Milk Chocolate Orange for him. Then DP made some loose leaf F&M Christmas blend tea from the tin he got me.

Otherwise I've had loads of water, a Gaviscon to offset champagne & paprika acidity and a Berroca with lunch because I've got a bastard cold.

*APPLEtiser

I got my booster this week and spent two days vomiting. Not back to myself at all had a slice of toast for breakfast. Was served an amazing turkey and ham roast dinner from my dad and managed half and nothing since.
2 glasses of flat 7up.
So sad...

I'm in the US:

I had one red chile beef tamale for breakfast

For lunch: Baked ham with pecan and maple glaze, roasted parsnips, carrots and Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes with orange and bay leaf (JO version).

Son brought us each a Starbuck's peppermint hot chocolate for dessert (he worked there today) and a slice of key lime pie. It's 82F/ 27C today.

I don't think I'll be eating again today as I'm stuffed but I may go out for a walk and make room for buttered popcorn whilst watching James Bond's No Time to Die on Amazon Prime.
