I have never had a special NYD dinner  Maybe I've been missing out all my life!
What's changed for the NYD OP?
And can you give me some inspiration of your NYD dinners and I may have to get my thinking cap on 😃 |

I was planning it very similar to xmas dinner to be fair but hot smoked salmon and roasted beetroot salad with horseradish dressing for starter, a nice stuffed crispy porchetta with roasties and veg for main and a baked alaska for dessert.  |

We are going to make a chicken, ham and leek pie. We've never made a pie before and we are even making the shortcrust pastry from scratch too. We are looking forward to doing it together and having a laugh.

"I haven't thought that far ahead 🤔. The cupboard is pretty bare after Christmas so we might be having a make do meal "
Just thinking out of the box here but some linguine could be an option if you like the stuff |

Just doing a ham for New Year's Day supper.
Dinner will be a porchetta with some home made stuffing and some parsnip and carrot bhajis and roast potatoes. Pudding is my MIL recipe - Grapefruit splodge (lemon meringue pie filling with grapefruits then beat in meringues - I suppose it's a bit like a smoother grapefruit version of Eton Mess).
Afternoon of cribbage competition with whoever turns up. |

BumBums - make sure you're holding tight to something - but I'm actually drinking ALCOHOL tonight  .
It'll be a NYE dodgy doner, some gooey ice cream with choccy chunks, and red wine.
NYD - normal day, normal food. |

Ooo that's a novel idea. I don't think I've tried linguine 😝 |

My parents used to do one when we were little. We've never done one. We have a buffet NYE, and usually have BBQ pulled pork on the go in the slow cooker. Then have a lazy NYD with pulled pork baps (or whatever you call them 😅) and whatever snacks that are leftover from Xmas |

Out with the lads I see. Drinking, dirty kebabs and back alley shenanigans. And I always thought you were classier than that |

Not bad at all. You get used to it after a while and you can try it with different things |

"Going for a nice long hike, hopefully do ten miles weather permitting then come home to some nice soup,nap chill get ready for work on Thursday."
Oops forgot about Thu? Though I am off but I appreciate not everyone is. Enjoy whatever you do. |

"New Year's Day was always pub lunch at Kirkstone pass in and an afternoon of sledging, it always snowed in the late district at Christmas when I was young
Oh, the good old days "
Problem is these days taking the family out for a pub lunch requires taking out a small loan to be able to afford it! |

You are not wrong there. Even the special deals they used to do seem to have all but disappeared |
