My turn to do the needful this year. So butterball turkey, yorkshire puds, pigs in blankets and my speciality; forcemeat stuffing. With all the trimings of course. Yum, yum!

Oh, and enough booze to float a lifeboat.

Bread sauce is just the best to dip roasters into and piggies in blankies-does anyone else call em chippolattas?
Oh and Bread sauce is very useful at balancing the Krug, pinot grigio or cndp(blanc) and port during dinner
