In light of the threats of shortages, have you done anything about organising your Christmas dinner yet?
Whether it’s guaranteeing a turkey to filling your freezer or (like me) booking your dinner out, have you made any preparations - and if you have does it have anything to do with these threats of shortages?
Me?
This will be the first year since my teens that I’ve not made my own Cristmas dinner because I’ve just booked at a place we use regularly.
It didn’t have anything to do with the threats of shortages, we just decided as a family (yes mother-in-law as well) to have a change for once and to take it easy rather than have the usual sometimes-frantic round of shopping, cooking, and cleaning-up.
It’s going to be odd compared to our usual and I’m not sure whether I will like it very much or not, but one thing is for sure and that is that I’ve never organised my Christmas dinner so early in the year ever before.
So what about you?
Have you done anything at all about organising your Christmas dinner yet?
My son always comes to me and stays overnight, ready for the Christmas meal, only a few more months and it will be Christmas,…some on YouTube are starting to put their decorations up.
I’ve just finished making the Christmas puddings and the cake I did last February and soaking in a bit of sherry.
Waiting for the turkey’s to come in, in Tesco have to wait and see what size they are.they might be smaller. Got the bacon and sausages in the freezer ready for the stuffing and sausages in blankets.
Ooh you can’t beat a good homemade Christmas pud & Christmas cake.
Before I moved here I was cooking twelve Christmas cakes every year just for friends and family.
Not sure about trying to beat the shortages. Filling the freezer is tempting but if our energy is cut, it will go to waste.
If all else fails I still have a large pot of brandy-toft - which is seriously yummy.
