Our brownie ice-cream cake, made especially for #ChristmasLunch #ChristmasCooking

I filled the oven with pigs in blankets and stuffing balls, only to discover my wife had stashed yet more or them at the back of the fridge. Also I put strawberry jam on the table instead of cranberry sauce #GettingOld #ChristmasLunch

My daily escape from the gloom and UK politics photo is of the Noix St Jacques/Gambas course of my Xmas lunch today. Joyeux Noël. #ChristmasLunch

Well we just found out as Jay carried a burning tater out of the kitchen into the yard

For #ChristmasLunch I've picked this #wine, selection in my parents shop is limited 🤓 It's hard to find #fizzy reds not in #spumante style outside of #Italy. Reviews on #vivino are not the best... But I still look forward to try this #Bonarda dell'Oltrepò Pavese or #Croatina. #winetasting #winelover

Pudding forms part of our Christmas lunch. #Christmas #ChristmasLunch

It has begun.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this when preparing a large meal? Getting everything on the table, still hot, at the same time is no small task!

Incidentally, I had one job yesterday and it didn't happen so we're off to a great start.

Called grandma and she said (for Xmas day) to be there at 1:00 pm. Then said 1:30. I’m going with 1:00 pm. I’ve written it in festive red on my cheap fridge whiteboard. #Christmas #ChristmasLunch #ChristmasPlanning

Today I will need to call grandma and ask what time I need to be there tomorrow, because I need to work it out for the chickens to cook.
She will say “oh you know, whenever, around midday”, then I’ll use that as a firm time, and get a call at 11:45 asking where I am and why I’m not there.

So maybe I’ll call dad, who’s usually the one calling, who will say “ask grandma”. #Christmas #ChristmasLunch #Christmasplanning #ChristmasFamily #cooking

This is your annual reminder to take your frozen turkey out of the freezer and start defrosting it in the fridge. NOW. Go on, we’ll wait while you do it. Please repost as a community service to others. #ChristmasLunch #ChristmasTurkey #ChristmasCooking

Tomorrow I’m making a nut loaf to take for an early Christmas with our son, daughter-in-law & grandson at Sunshine Coast. I make a bbq sauce with it adding a vegan Worcestershire sauce I make. #ChristmasLunch #Cooking #Vegan #Vegetarian #NutLoaf #BBQSauce #WorcestershireSauce

We’re all at our desks trying hard to sober up. I’ve been staring at a data analysis spreadsheet for about an hour. Luckily Excel has done most of the work for me. #ChristmasLunch

Oh joy. Our work Christmas lunch has just been cancelled (we had a booking for 11.30) because 'something has come up'. God I hate this place at times. In who's world is that appropriate?
