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.

@festivesprinkles - just the name of the recipe, I think. My mum got it from a chef in a restaurant, he'd headed the recipe with the name and we always refer to it. Presumably because they're more-ish!

We had Christmas dinner in the early evening so I tried to be restrained during the day. Not drinking much due to medication.
Breakfast - berries and yoghurt, tea
Lunch - oatcakes, cream cheese, smoked salmon, avocado
Afternoon - cup of tea and piece of homemade ginger shortbread
Dinner - Roast beef (lots), roast potatoes (lots), mashed swede, carrots, sprouts. Small glass of red wine.
1.5 hour rest then huge piece of Christmas pudding with cream and brandy butter
6 marshmallows, 2 toffees and a peppermint tea

Tomorrow I'm cooking the ham I should have cooked on Christmas Eve but forgot to defrost!
