Meals for between Christmas and New Year

[mmmmmchocolate]

I wasn’t sure whether to post this in Christmas or food but what meals do you all eat Christmas week? I want something a little bit more special than we would normally eat as we’re not going anywhere or seeing anyone this year but my mind has gone blank! So far

Christmas Day- is a roast dinner.
Boxing Day- buffet with nibbles and cheeses.
Sunday- sausage plait with homemade puff pastry, roasties and veg.

Monday to Wednesday- who knows!

Thursday NY Eve will be either a take away or party food.

There won’t be any leftovers so things like turkey curry are out. Thanks 😊

Thanks guys I'll be ok won't hurt to miss a meal or too and shift a few pounds and I'll be having my dinner tomorrow and Boxing Day so I'll make sure I eat plenty. I get paid next week so all is not lost. I did consider a food bank but it said you need a voucher or something I'm not sure. My OH had tried all week to get £30 to me but because we live 98 miles from each other it's difficult. He doesn't have internet banking to transfer it over and every hint he's dropped at work to come here has being ignored. I often wonder how when I earn a fairly good wage do I spend 1-2 weeks every month either living off dried toast or nothing at all. Christmas hasn't helped this time and nor did me losing 10 days pay and 3 days holiday pay due to me having to self isolate.

But to bring cheer back to the thread here's what I'm hoping I'll be eating tomorrow!!

Bacon sandwich with a small glass of Buck's Fizz cos I'm working later on
Turkey
Mashed potatoes
Cauliflower cheese
Carrots
Parsnips
Stuffing
Roast potatoes
Pigs in blankets
Sprouts
Gravy
Cranberry sauce
Definitely going to miss my Grandma's sherry trifle this year though

Eggnog where are you geographically? I’m sure someone could help if we knew? So sorry you are having awful time, what a rough year :(

@Tini17 pretty much the arse end of no where Bridlington!!

Tomorrow turkey and all the trimmings.
Boxing Day - turkey and stuffing baguettes with home made chips
Sunday - bubble and squeak type leftovers
Monday - party food bits
Tuesday - working so maybe some brisket from freezer with homemade chips and veg

Probably need to do a food shop after that, or get a massive takeaway and eat the leftovers until new year!

On Christmas eve we had a take away and Christmas day we had turkey and ham with all the trimmings.
Tonight and 27th we'll have 2 more roast dinners 🤣 sounds excessive, I know but we love our roast dinners and I don't want the food to go to waste. This will finish off the turkey and ham (will have frozen some turkey for NY)
28th: Cheese board, bread, chutneys, breadsticks, pate, crisps chocolates etc.
29th: chicken curry, rice, chips and naan bread.
30th: sweet and sour chicken
31st: buffet
1st: Turkey pie with mash potatoes and gravy.
