Christmas Leftovers II

For Christmas lunch, a turkey breast I thought.

From the local butcher I thought

Ordered in November.

Collected in December.

No pre-determined weight for the fowl, but, was told it would be around 2kg.

Weighed it on Boxing Day (Christmas Day meal delayed)

3.3kg

Happy Christmas!

Aaaaargh.

It was lovely to have the time on the 26th to prep the turkey (bacon, thyme, butter & seasoning) as well as the veg - all the usual suspects. Apron on. (New one from Father Christmas).

Festive aromas.

I was most excited about the turkey, the crispy roast potatoes and the sprouts. A glass of a Reserve Barolo courtesy of a cousin & that was me done.

Now, two days later, it's time for the festive curry.
