A big juicy steak, . . and some Golden Wonder home made chips, . . some fried courgettes, . . then a large slice of plum-duff pudding with brandy sauce.
I’ll have to get a bath towel to wipe Nero’s gob though.

I must have beaten most people. In October I made and froze a duck casserole so Christmas day will be a doddle! My philosophy is make life as simple and enjoyable as possible and, on that subject, I have a fridge magnet which I read when I think I ought to clean the house. The magnet’s motto is ‘A clean house is the sign of a wasted life’!
Love that quote, Flamingo!
Broiled crab cake, curried potatoes and sprouts tonight.
No Cook Monday: sardine sandwich, Kettle chips, sprouts, two mini-spring rolls with wasabi.
I think I’ll persuade the old man that we’d like fish’n’chips from the chippie tonight
After the juicy steak the other night I’m finished with butcher meat, . . I could still see the jockeys whip marks on it. 
Spaghetti and meatballs, the usual salad and roll.
I’m going to make a spiced lamb meatball and apricot tagine for tonight, with those lovely presserved lemons. mmm
And I’m about to marinate some diced venison in red wine with lovely things like juniper berries and redcurrant jelly. I’ll cook up the casserole tomorrow, for tomorrow’s and Saturday’s supper, with mashed potatoes.
What time is dinner, DM, I’ll be there!
Boring no-cook Thursday: tuna salad, chips, sweet corn.
Tucking into a bacon and brie sarnie and a cuppa as we speak:)
Just loved Flamingos quote!!!
Anyroad I now send you the recipe for tomorrows dinner - quick & easy;
Serving 4;
4 chicken fillets, 1 lemon (in slices), black olives (half of a small jar), oregano, parsley, 1 chicken-stock-cube), 3 dl water.
Fry the fillets in a little oil til they take on a little colour. Add the lemon, olive, water, stock-cube & oregano. Put a lid on and cook for 25 minutes. Take the lid off, add the parsley and reduce the liquid till half. Add 25 g of butter and a teaspoon of honey…
Serve with tricolor pasta, and/or a green salad of your choice…
Had a nice bowl of my “not quite minestrone” soup tonight, perfect for a cold Winter night, and the usual salad and roll.
Ham and cabbage, roll.
Err, . . . something hot, . . anything hot. 
Chicken sandwich from yesterdays bird, cauliflower and Kettle chips.
How are you eating your leftovers?
We only had our home-cooked big meal yesterday, so it’s very much a repeat performance today - sliced goose warmed through in gravy, braised red cabbage warmed through, ‘new’ roast potatoes (in goose fat of course), christmas pudding but with custard not clotted cream - there’s a limit to how many calories a body can take!
Are those of you on day 3 having salad and jacket potato, in a sauce with pasta, curries … or what?
Lunch, a bacon sandwich, but I am cooking this evening for my son and his girlfriend. Roast lamb with garlic and rosemary, roast potatoes, parsnips, sprouts and carrots. Followed by Christmas pudding (because we haven’t had any yet).
That sounds good!
I think roast lamb is my favourite
Roast beef, yorkshire puds, roast potatoes and roast parsnips (roasted in goose fat), sprouts, carrots, broccoli and gravy followed by Christmas pud or mince pies with either double cream, custard or ice cream.
My huge turkey will be cooked on New Year’s Day:-)
I’ve got a piece of brisket of beef very slow roasting a la Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstal Link to recipe/method
Five and a half hours in the oven - guess that’s what you’d call real slow cooking?
