Compared to yours, our dinner must seem like no more than a quaint, barely stomach-tickling starter to you! But, pigs-in-blanket. Mmmmmmm. Pigs-in-blanket. For the time being, I'll rationalise my culinary Yuletide sparseness by saying that it's difficult to stuff yourself fully in an equatorial climate. Yeah, I reckon I'll stick with that! :) But take photos if you can. I'm dying to see this spread! OMG, Sparky!!!!!

Is why we only have finger food on Christmas eve (alright we have a LOT of finger food) since Christmas day has such a massive meal so from about, oooh, 4 days until the day we will be baking coinstantly Christmas dinner is served early because then you have an excuse to evict the more annoying relatives early (and stop them drinking all the booze) and is fairly traditional -a prawn medly starter, then the main event 12 kinds of veggies, 4 kinds of spud, Turkey (we have a turducken but we may do that another day) wrapped in bacon, beef, pigs-in-blanket,4 kinds of stuffing, 3 kinds of gravy, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, horseradish sauce, redcurrent jelly, red & white whine by the cask, a cask of beer, a cask of cider, 3 different variations on the theme of a Christmas pudding, a Christmas cake and a cheese board with several wheels of cheese. Quite a light meal really. We may be dead on boxing day... or drowning in leftovers And this?

After J and I got married, I started looking at what we could have for Christmas and it was all meat! I was aghast! Now it's just *mostly* meat. LOL Okay, vindaloo. I'll make it a separate post. Stay tuned. I know what you mean. After J and I got married, I started looking at what we could have for Christmas and it was all meat! I was aghast! Now it’s just *mostly* meat. LOL

It sounds great. I haven't quite decided on Christmas dinner yet, but Greg has made a request for standing rib roast. Nothing says Christmas like a slab of meat. LOL. PS I'd love to have your recipe for vindaloo. It sounds wonderful. Save a spot at the table for me! It sounds great.
