[dark_castle1]

Christmas food grocery shopping with my M*rris*ns vouchers. 

Do you think I will be too late to put the brussels on for Christmas when I get back ?   

[twishy123]

Yes...they should have gone on last Thursday.....

[dark_castle1]

Dang !!! I knew i would miss the day.

[twishy123]

Tsk........this is wot happens when you try to take the responsibility for cooking at Christmas.........

Have you at least got yer dodgy masher for the lumpy mashed tates?.....

[dark_castle1]

Was thinking more along the lines of putting them in the washing up bowl twishy and tramping them with me size 8 steel toecap boots on.   

[twishy123]

Nooooooo.......ya washing up bowl will be filled with every used cooking utensil known to humanity.....

HONESTLY.....

[dark_castle1]

It will not twishy cause me was thinking of putting them on the floor for the dog to lick clean as I uses them.

[twishy123]

The dog won't want to lick them 'cos he will be full of turkey chewed off the bird he found on the work top........

is this ya first Christmas do Corgi?......blummin novice.....

[chickengrandma-2008]

Naw CG ! Me cooked when in the navy so like taking time and making something for Christmas a bit more extravagant than beans on toast.   

Neither of us keen on turkey so maybe a bit of brisket or silverside but will wait and see what there is in the shop tomorrow.

[ed_blackadder_1]

I love brisket we have that for tea tomorrow, slow cooked, yum yum

[dark_castle1]

Will be off to the butchers between Christmas and New Year ed for a nice bit of steak because I always make steak pie for New Years Day as it is a tradition with us. Love it because the steak just melts in your mouth.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh that sounds lovely, I have a large piece for tomorrow so I shall probably make a pie with any leftovers.

[wskneil]

I think I might make Crocodile Pie for Boxing day. Not done any real cooking for ages

Nice one, RC 🙂    

The sprouts will be fine - in fact, you can leave them till 1st Dec them microwave then on the highest setting for 48 hours to give them a head start then boil them as usual till the big day 🙂

Does anybody, apart from my OH, actually like the little green abominations?

[ilove2patch]

I like sprouts..........................cooked properly so the have a bite to them. Very nice with some crispy bacon too.

[kaeptm]

Sprouts are delicious!

Cooked in the frying pan in a little butter and oil, a blob of Dijon mustard on each one and a generous sprinkle of mixed herbs du Provence. Cooked gently until browned......................
