Christmas dinner today. 3 day special at Superstore Turkey, 99c lb but swapped it with one in our freezer.
Roast spuds, parsnips, green beans, bit of stuffing and cranberry sauce.

Merry Christmas.

Re: Teatime Choices

There was only one choice in Atlantic Canada tonight for us! Lobster of course. My husband is away and my son doesn't like all the cracking of the claws bit, so I looked it up and dressed it properly, which initially, seemed a bit of a fag, but was worth it, and I'd do it again. Yum, yum. Those not in Atlantic Canada....it seems there is always a special price for lobster on Mothers Day and Fathers Day...we don't get the chance to celebrate the products that we have here half enough...so many products are unfortunately hard to track down or eye wateringly expensive. So I'm definitely pro lobster weekends!

I was drawn to a jar of Goan Coconut Curry sauce some weeks ago and finally got around to it Saturday.

Mild, it said on the label, which I assumed to be a reference to the strength of the curry. Little did I know it meant the taste. Or, rather, the lack of it. :(

I quickly mixed up a bit of chip shop curry sauce and added it to my dish. Rescued. :thumbup:

I might try it again but with a bit of added vindaloo paste.

American Rye, and it took a little looking for. I'm a call it Spaghetti Luciano, I guess. From the Templeton Rye website:

The Heyday of Bootlegging

The high-caliber spirit finds its way to Chicago, by way of cattle cars destined for the great Chicago stockyards, and earns favor with mafia kingpin Al Capone. The town of Templeton is soon supplying his gang with hundreds of kegs per month. Selling primarily Canadian whiskey, Capone nonetheless insists on Templeton Rye as his personal drink of choice — serving family and friends only The Good Stuff.

If it works, stuffed roast pork tenderloin - cranberry jelly, marmalade, bacon and stuffing.

No such luck, but thank you! I was going to have my usual gochujang bbq sauce thing then thought of coconut milk getting old on the shelf (it's 2017 isn't it?) and a little (a pinch and a half) 5 Spice Powder and changed everything.

When there are too many to count on two hands.

Speaking of fish (again) McDonalds now sells Fish and Chips.
Don't bother. :(
