You may know that I'm not one to Celebratre the normal Christmas trappings.
But I do have a Family.
I Hate to be tied to "normal" Christmas traditions of a 2pm big Turkey meal. (A little like your thanksgiving thing)
I Normally spend Christmas Day up a mountain or such.
So Tonight (Christmas Eve) I had the Parents over for the Christmas meal.
Salmon belinis and Champagne.
Butterflied Prawns with Thai stuffing and crusted scallops.
Rack of lamb with mint and blackcurant crust, Squash and sweet potato mash. Sprouts tossed in bacon fat. Carrot in sea salt butter and fennel seeds. Roast potatoes cooked in bacaon and pork fat.
Cheese board (very 70's but still works)
Home made Christmas pudding and Brandy Sauce.
Mince pies, Store bought (better than I can do) and home made brandy butter.
Gaelic coffee and ameretti biscuits.
Finished with a glass of brandy then washed down with a glass of best bitter.
