At Chateau Unfit Family, it's wild, line-caught salmon for starter (boringly
obvious, but we do like our salmon). Main course is organic Norfolk Bronze
turkey crown. My secret stuffing (ooh-err, Missus!), lots of veggies (lots
of sprouts included) & gravy made from the meat juices. Christmas pudding
and a very, very boozy Christmas cake..
The turkey is stuffed, barded and sat on a bed of root veggies in the
roasting tin. The oven is heating up to temperature. Once there, the turkey
gets popped in. Then I'll peel the veggies...
The festive table was set last night - it's all winter white, silver & *ice*
(which isn't going to melt), with candles at the ready.
Cheers, all! helen s
