Then a rather fine Castlemaine XXXX trifle
Made amusingly enough by an Aussie.
Washed down by lashings of red wine.
Today at in laws.
Leftover Turkey, Mrs V's sausage stuffing
Cheese board with port.

Ended up having the lobster with some buttered and minted spuds.
Made a chicken curry today. I think I need to sling the poussin into the freezer and have it another day.

I started the day with scrambled egg on sour dough (drizzled with a little chilli oil and 'fried' in a dry pan)
I made a few mince pies, washed down with some mulled wine.
Snafu'd a few chocolates along the way.
I have, in the fridge: champagne, foie gras, lobster and poussin all awaiting cooking/shovelling down my gullet. I'm tempted to just do the champers and foie and save the other two for tomorrow.
