Red cabbage!

Also the custard was miles out of date so we had ice cream with the Christmas pudding.

It dawned on me about half an hour ago that the buffet we had yesterday evening was missing the prawn vol-au-vents that I'd been looking forward to for weeks. Grin

I cooked everything, kept it warm, transferred it into assorted thermoses etc and took it to DM’s. After we’d eaten we realised we’d left the red cabbage at home.

The chicken and the pigs in blankets and the stuffing!! We've got covid so it was an achievement just to get through the day lol.

Parsnips are still in the fridge. We’ve also done our usual ‘eat way too much to want dessert’ so the Christmas pudding will not be eaten today either!
