heheeh - our Christmas dinner is gonna be pretty much the same this year as last. although we're roasting macadamia rolled chicken instead of buying bbq
ooh, and we're doing trifle, pav and choc ripple cake for dessert
and making fudge and peppermint bark to have around...
It's just the three of us here plus maybe SIL but i needed to create the christmas spirit so we probably are doing too much.
we're have the roast turkey (just a breast, yet to be decided how it will be done - anyone have any ideas i bought some macadmias hoping i could find something.)
& hopefully getting a roast pork (scotch yummo - my favourite cut easy as no bone) with apple sauce.
both with gravy
lots of roasted spuds, pumpkin, carrots
cauliflower with cheese sauce
mixed veges
also will do a small ham and chicken (with lettuce, cucumber, cheese, cherry toms and maybe egg) platter to graze at as i plan on lunch being a bit later in the afternoon.
I am making mini-pavs mostly fruitless as dh and sil are fusspots, so they will be boring with flake and peppermint crisp on top
maybe a ripple cake too!
also we have some tiny teddies, choc peanuts and im making rocky road as well.
Then of course we will have leftovers for dinner on rolls or whatever and the next day I am sure
recipe is in the christmas treats thread hun - though i'm about to go and add some observations
is basically three layers of chocolate (white, milk/dark, white) with peppermint candycanes crushed in between some layers. is supposed to have a creamy middle layer but it didn't set right by the recipe i had - i think leaving the cream out would be heaps better
We're having
Prawn ****tails
Oysters Kilpatrick & natural
Lobster Mornay
Salt & Pepper Squid
Mango salad
Avocado & corn salad
Fruit salad
It is just for DH, me & the kids this year so we're not having a huge amount or going OTT. We're going to have a small roast lamb dinner planned (meat cooked in SC) and a vegetarian roast (for DS1) but things may change and we'll end up having it the next day.
we're having a roast pork, some ham, some rolled turkey, roast veggies and gravy. Dessert is plum pudding with custard. If I can be bothered getting prawns, I will do a prawn ****tail for DH and I (DD is allergic). There will be a fruit platter on the table to nibble throughout the day. But it is just the three of us so def not going OTT... plus my trainer wouldn't be impressed if I undid 8 months work in 1 day!
