Currently perusing the Diffords guide website to come up with some cocktails that will use up the cheap bottle of prosecco Mr N got in his company's xmas food box. -
Keep thinking I need to go to Sainsbury's for some reason
The fact that I went there two days ago and spent about sixty quid doesn't seem to have sunk in

Right, I'm going to get dinner on now - otherwise I'll end up putting it off and finally getting it ready about half nine, yet again

Chicken and spuds in the oven
What's the official line on that bit of elastic that comes with the chicken, wrapped round it to keep its legs shut? Are you supposed to leave that on, or take it off? I find that leaving it on just means the thighs take longer to cook. Also, it makes it harder to shove an onion up inside the beast before cooking.Comment

I prefer shoving garlic up it's bum.
Ribs are now resting, we've had some foie gras with home made fig and plum chutney and there is also the option of keens cheddar or smoked salmon with the soda bread that has I've just baked.Comment

Just had the 2nd lot of lamb stew.
It was quite nice.
For lunch one had a curious combination of Morrisons mini kievs and some sort of flat bread with chillies.
I felt completely stuffed after lunch & I'm feeling even more stuffed now.
All I need now is a waffer thin mint & I'm done for.

I like my bird well relaxed and as flexible as possible before I try stuffing anything in the hole.
But that might just be me. I hear some perverts like their birds tightly bound. I'm not judging, just saying what I've heard.Comment
