I love that idea of a Boxing Day picnic or barbeque on a deserted beach somewhere, especially if you're wrapped up warm, the sun is shining and there's a clear blue sky. To be honest, by the time we've finished eating and drinking on Christmas Day, the thought of a repeat session on Boxing Day weighs a little heavily on my digestion so an opportunity to do something different in the fresh air, perhaps washed down with a couple of glasses of "fizzy" really appeals.

Alan, tis worrying that the shot you managed to sneak of OH's kitchen shows a cctv camera.
Perhaps that is how OH knows which ember is which comestible.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Back on the non-humorous side, we had a really nice variation on Brussel Sprouts this year which I much preferred to the traditional version:
- quartered and stir-fried with some garlic and coriander.
Don't know whether the quartering made the difference and helped them cook more evenly but these seemed sweeter than usual and without some of the bitterness you sometimes get from whole boiled sprouts (but maybe we don't know how to cook them correctly in the traditional manner).

We had roast goose for the first time. It certainly won't be the last, it was delicious!

Dear Franksmum, it seems it took a bit of catching.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
