Who cooked your Christmas dinner?

[TazzyDrunk]

My mum for mine.

Mostly me, but DH did all the prepping this morning and will do something fancy with the sprouts. Nowhere near eating yet!

My two DSs cooked lunch, my exH (their dad) and DD are about to wash up. I am doing nothing, as I have done everything else in the run-up!

I cooked it all. Dh did all the cleaning and washing.

Me - but that’s because I’m a control freak and won’t let anyone else

My mum, in my kitchen, tried her best to work with a very inadequate set of cooking tools and tableware...we are not very domestic in this household! Half of us had chicken, half of us had nut roast. Yum.

Me, nearly there, I have a rubbish cooker and a tiny little kitchen so looks a bit like a disaster but turkey is moist and delicious 😋
But I’ve cooked enough for 6 and there’s just the 2 of us

Me, normally it's DH but he's full of cold.

I cooked the big roast yesterday.

DH is cooking duck, pheasant, steak, veg and potato gratin this evening.

Me....the whole bloody lot. On my own while dh went out for a run. He came home ten mins before it was due to be ditched up with me trying to cook gluten free option, normal option, vegi option while also trying to clean out the litter box as the cat just did a big shit I burnt the leeks.

Was screaming at him alternately to go and have a shower and to try and find the gf Yorkshire puddings.

He pulled this bloody stunt last year as well. I think he hates Xmas, he’s always in a foul mood.

Me but probably also elements of a controller about me . Turkey out (quicker than expected) so will
probably sit down at 5pm.

But I am full having picked at cold ham 🐷 all afternoon so would rather wait a few hours. Turkey says No!

Dh and I cooked it together. Joint effort.

Me and it was lush! So full now!

My h cooked it all, he's a star 🌟

Me😬😬😍

A recently separated friend who had nowhere to go and also happens to be a fantastic chef! He wanted to do it, we did starters, desserts and booze

Me, aided by my mum. We've just finished and it was delicious if I do say so myself.

Me, just how I like it

Me.
We usually go to my mum's, but stayed home this year.
DS1 declared my dinner the best, so feeling quite chuffed

Me.
Slow cooker turkey is amazing. Just brown it in the top oven afterwards. So easy and no hassle.

I cooked it. And I remembered everything!! Normally something ends up forgotten (yorkshires, crackers for the table) but this year I remembered everything! That phenomenon is linked to my sobriety, this is the first year I haven't been drinking bucks fizz all morning It was bloody luvverly dinner. I'm very happy. And very full. And I might have started drinking fizz at this point, hic!!

Dinner at my parents. We all took a dish, worked out well.

We are eating late this year as DS1 is working. DH has just put the turkey he prepped into the oven, he did the ham last night. I've prepped the vegetables and DS2 has done the trimmings, he also made brunch. DS1 will be home around six so we'll crack open the bubbly and get on with the cooking.

DH. I have assembled a trifle for later.

Me it was lovely, took a good few hours to make and only a few minutes to eat

Db and me
