I forgot to defrost the gateau. It's going to take 5 hours....

The Sprouts. All shredded and ready in the larder!
Still the bubble and squeak will be nice and green tomorrow!

Peas and pigs in blankets Grin

Red cabbage!

Also the custard was miles out of date so we had ice cream with the Christmas pudding.

Yorkshire puddings. I’m the only one who likes them so I was gutted!!

DH forgot the stuffing, which is fine really because only he likes it!

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

Forgot the bread sauce, heated it up in the microwave and then promptly forgot all about it, ‘twas a nice Marks one as well.

Forgot the entire starter course 😁

stickymarshmallow · 25/12/2021 18:00

Not exactly the same but I forgot to get the pigs in blankets and stuffing out of the oven Confused

Luckily no one noticed they were missing!

Iusedtobecarmen · 25/12/2021 18:02

I forgot the stuffing too!!!

Bigbouncingbaby · 25/12/2021 18:03

The turkey …. After an hour and a half of the oven on I realised I hadn’t put the bastard turkey in 🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈 slightly delayed lunch

feelsobadfeltsogood · 25/12/2021 18:06

My parsnips
Foil tray job too so minimal effort but never mind we will have them tomorrow

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 25/12/2021 18:07

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.

GlumyGloomer · 25/12/2021 18:09

Another one who forgot the entire starter. We'll eat it tomorrow instead

Sunshineandrainbow · 25/12/2021 18:09

Sprouts!

mrsmacmc · 25/12/2021 18:09

DH decanted the meat juices I was going to use for gravy. Bisto to the rescue 😂

mommybear1 · 25/12/2021 18:09

Yep ditched the starter the main was looking too big and running late 😂.

halcyondays · 25/12/2021 18:12

Forgot to get the cranberry sauce out, not like me because I love it.

boomboomboom123 · 25/12/2021 18:15

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.

YessicaHaircut · 25/12/2021 18:16

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!

boomboomboom123 · 25/12/2021 18:16

Oh god and the red cabbage!!!

Kayjay2018 · 25/12/2021 18:16

Roast potatoes

N0tfinished · 25/12/2021 18:21

Forgot to serve the mushy peas and the cranberry sauce. I had cooked them!

Hippywannabe · 25/12/2021 18:21
