Am making a chocolate roulade for pud, DP cooks the main. Am hoping he can get a lot of the prep the day before, although I will do the ham. And I will possible make the roulade in advance if I can find a recipe that says I can.

Im really looking forward to my Xmas dinner this year, was breastfeeding tiny DS and was at my Mums for the day so I drove while DP had enough drinks for the 2 of us. And many many more . This year, I am not bfing and we are staying at home so bring on the booze!

Mmm both of your meals sound delicious. Queef Yours sounds really appealing, particularly as it will no doubt enable you to have free time to enjoy the day once your meal is in the oven.

Don't want to waste the day cooking when I could be drinking to block the boredom spending quality time with my loved ones GrannyRat !

no starters - we have selection boxes for breakfast. there might be some little pastry cheese stars and smoked salmon blinis for canapes if I can be bothered.

Rib of Beef, roasties, Yorkshires, sausage meat stuffing balls, carrots, brocolli, parnsips

Pudding is undecided - we are at deadlock with 2 votes for Christmas pudding, and two for chocolate or sticky toffee pudding. will toss a coin.

Christmas cake and cheeses for after the washing up.

Two starters this year... choice of caramelised red onion and goats cheese tart served with rocket or tea infused salmon with a lemon and herb mayo, served with spiced leeks.

Main is turkey and a million trimmings

Pudding is christmas pudding or diabetic baked apple sponge for those who can't.
