What did you have / going to have for dinner?

Ok, we all know what's on the menu for tomorrow, but what about today? Something festive, something normal, or something light?
For me it was:
Yellowfin Sole in parsley and lemon
New potatoes
Baby carrots
Petit pois
A light vegetable gravy
All very tasty and quite light.
I did have a homemade mince pie though...

Quoting starkers, reply 10Hey Leo, while you're at it, why don't you go the whole hog and have a banquet, instead???
No point in doing things by half measures, is there?
BTW, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and yours.
Thanks, bud. Xmas wishes to you and the family............By the way, it was a feast............and I made it all. Today.......Turkey left overs with fries and fried eggs..........yummy..........and someone bought some fresh english fruit scones yesterday and I've just been out and bought some fresh clotted cream.........So, 'high tea' today will be fresh cream Cornish scones with a little strawberry jam in between the layers..........Good job I don't have to worry about my waist line!!!
Thanks Leo... we had a very quiet one here... just the missus and I, but it was very enjoyable and the food excellent.
As for the clotted cream, well I hailed from Devon originally - the home of clotted cream and Devonshire teas - and to say that I'm somehat jealous is somewhat of an understatement. Genuine clotted cream in Oz is as rare as hens teeth or as expensive as hell, and the cafes/restaraunts here only serve Devonshire teas with ordinary whipped cream. It's just not the same.., and home-made clotted cream doesn't always turn out too well... geographical differences (of the cows) perhaps?
Oh well, I recently had some original recipe Cornish pasties and scones. After dad died mum eventually remarried to a Cornishman, and he made some up while they were visiting Oz earlier in the year... heavenly!

Methane, lots of it. From the cow where the beef comes from, from the cow where the cheese comes from, from the co... consumer who eats it ![]()

Yup, I thought as much. Sounds like cheeseburgers would be the perfect compliment to curried cabbage, then. ![]()

Today: Beefburger, 2x sausage, egg, baked beans followed by spotted dick and custard.
An old fashioned English meal, but mmmmmmm ![]()

Today we had prawns, chicken and ham with garden salad... and more of that supercalafragilistic cheescake.
I had spotted dick once... the doc gave me some ointment and told me to rub on it four times a day. ![]()

As in increased flatulence/methane gas output? Oh goody! Another side-dish to go with curried cabbage. ![]()
