You part boil them then put them in the oven like with roast potatoes no?


Exactly. Although I can't be bothered with the roasted part on this occasion.

Had a dry run Christmas dinner a few weekends ago, as my Mrs made a big batch of the stuffing to freeze and save for the day. God it was amazing.

I don't mind running it again this year, unless Cora wants to take it back over. If I do it, I'll probably start sign ups for 1st November due to everything being potentially delayed etc.

Anyone got recommendations for they light up reindeer for your garden? I want a nice one, and happy to pay good money if it's worth it, but some I've seen online have like 50 lights which is nowhere near enough to get an outline let alone fill without looking dead sparse. Would line to get a couple years out of it rather than a disposable thing from B&M.

Simply buy a wicker reindeer, coat it in petrol, and strike a match.

Nothing says Christmas like that, is what your neighbours will say in years to come :toot:

A staple. Not even up for debate.

I can see why people might have a problem with it (as it's traditionally served with beef) but they are good so let people eat what they like on Christmas I say.

Won't complain if they're not served however.

Yorkshires are just a staple for any roast dinner no matter what meat. 100% for Christmas Dinner.
