Christmas food

Christmas Cake only iced on Christmas Eve

Started eating it soon after

Only batch of mince pies I got round to making, the mince meat
was left over from that I made last year. Keeps well!

Lamb for Christmas Eve

Cooked and served with boiled potatoes (home grown) and
roast salad (not home grown)

Self sufficient breakfast - eggs, fried potatoes and bacon (super
chunky at the top of the photo - really yummy, we didn't make much
unfortunately due to misunderstanding with the butcher most suitable
cuts were made in to chops) all home grown

Enjoying a Christmas present from Kirsty and Terry

Now started on leftovers

Alternative to pearl barley which you can't seem to get here
Tastes just the same to me but is wheat. Not sure what
the difference between the two packets is apart from the name
the contents seem identical to me.

No photos of Christmas Dinner. It was roast cockerel out of the freezer, we killed him at the same time as the previous one we ate. With chestnut stuffing, roast potatoes, carrots, parsnip and beetroot all home grown. The onions and garlic where not - we did grow some, but they didn't go very well. We followed it with Christmas pudding from Tesco.
