I will have a Turkey and pork and do a Nut roast for the veggies this year . I think if I said BBQ like last nights party and eating it inside they may not like . My family are very traditional at Christmas . |

If we are at home we will probably have the usual turkey dinner but also buy a ham joint too
At the moment we are not sure if we will be home alone for meals so havnt made complete our plans so far, if we are alone for lunch then we will probably book for dinner at a pub |

Boxing day the kids are with me for a light lunch but then going back to their mum for tea when I will be once more hitting the M6 and heading home. By the time I arrive everyone here will have eaten so it will be a quick meal for one. No special food for me at christmas Im always on the road when the big meals are being served.  |

"And don't forget folks before you tuck into your big dinners round the table it's always nice to have a toast to absent fiends and family "
I dont know if its my family, being lower class or what. But I was brought up thinking that toasting, raising a glass etc was a bit snooty or prim and proper and that it was all for show and there for not something we ever did. I guess it rubbed off on me because Id feel really stupid doing it and my kids would just ask what I was talking about.
Ive been lucky not to have lost any significant family other than my grandparents and I remember them often not just at specific days so just doesnt seem a need to make some public show of rememberance.
Anyway I wasnt knocking you for saying it. Each to their own I guess I was just thinking out loud

Wasnt suggesting you were snooty lol it was just how we were taught to percieve it as kids. It was something you see in downton abbey rather than at home with the family |

Everytime we have a drink we raise a glass to something/ someone. Only if it's just to say welcome or good health. |

"How do you make the best roast potatoes? "
Parboil potatoes for 10 mins
Roughen them up by tossing them in pan
Preheat lard in an oven pan and preheat oven to as high a heat as possible
Put potatoes in pan of lard and cook in oven for about 1hour
Try to keep oven as hot as possible |
