We still have all the “party” food we planned for lunch yesterday so that’ll be today’s lunch and it’ll be American-style pancakes, streaky bacon and maple syrup tomorrow! #ChristmasOvercatering

What a lovely day - met friends at the pub then went to other friends for drinks and nibbles and got home mid-afternoon. Did meal prep and cooked a few sausage rolls to keep us going. Listened to the wonderful Big Finish Dr who Christmas story set in Vienna. Perfect.

Listening to Carols from King’s while I wait for Ben to get up and wondering why our printer isn’t working (I have ONE THING I need to print!). Merry Christmas all. 🎄🎄🎄

We are making a confit turkey leg (cos we couldn’t find one online!) and it’s HUGE! As in, mammoth sized. It’s supposed to be completely covered in goose or duck fat but after 6 jars I gave up and have turned it regularly and am hoping for the best.
