Sunday dinner

Time to start cooking, wish me luck!!   

Lots of luck - save us some

Good luck Sazzle, just allow yourself plenty of time and you will be fine.

What I do at Christmas dinner is get a sheet of paper then right at the bottom write down what time you want to sit down and eat, then work backwards from there slotting in all the timings of everything needed, first thing it to take the meat out of the fridge about half an hour before it goes in the oven.

Hope all went ok Saz will await to hear xx

Looking forward to hearing about it too Hun xx

yep me two

It went well, yayy   But god am I tired now!   

Took a few pics

Apple and raspberry crumble



The bird!



Cauliflower cheese



The flowers Carys brought for me   

wow saz you had it all under control what did you put on your chicken?

How was the bird Saz?   

I basted it in butter like piglet said, salt and pepper and stuffed some thyme, rosemary and bay leaves inside, apparently it was good, my brother carved it and got quite excited!!   

Carys and my dad complemented my roasties and keith had three portions of crumble!!   

i may try that next sunday normaly just put in in the oven without anything on, how much of everything?

2 sprigs each of thyme and rosemary and 2 bay leaves, a lot of butter!!

Course you wouldn't know would you Saz! sounds like it was well appreciated   

Yeah I think so   

Well done Saz - looks really delish

 Ummmm rosemary and thyme go very well with chicken, looks delicious   

Wow you had nothing to worry about saz, all under control! Well done sounds like they loved it.   

 It was really hard work!

Its the stress of all the timings isn't it. Also its much harder when you are cooking something you don't eat!

feeding that many will be hard i normally i only do 3 sometime when the nephew come around i do 5 but they coming around less and less

The most I've ever cooked a roast for before is 4! I often cook for 5/6 at dinner club but I do something easier, like you say its all the timings with so many different things on the go!
