I'm So Full!

[Caran]

Been to daughters for dinner tonight, she excelled herself, we had roast stuffed turkey crown, roast potatoes, dauphinois potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes and butternut squash, Caulie and broccoli cheese, carrots, peas, runner beans, spinach stuffed mushrooms, crumbed parsnips, ratatouille, sage and onion stuffing and gravy. Before that we had a starter of chillier prawns, smoked salmon, ham and assorted wsalad that I prepared. Afterwards we had Bakewell tart and lemon curd meringue cake. She really did a superb meal but I think they will be on left overs for the rest of next week!

Sounds great ( apart from the gravy ), Caran.
Don't be standing on any scales for about two days though ;-)

[ummmm]

Far too much food for me.

[Mamyalynne]

I'd be alright with just the starter, glad you had a lovely time Caran.

Turkey? It's Easter not Xmas. Don't you think she overdid it a bit on the spuds?

[RobNorth]

Wow, what a lovely blow-out! I'm salivating, having read it three times..
Mind you, I like a boiled potato or two also......

[Mamyalynne]

Go on , you've twisted my arm - I'll have a small slice of lemon meringue cake too,

[Caran]

I passed on about five dishes, had no room on my plate or in my tum!
She admitted she got carried away but loves cooking.

[Mamyalynne]

So many ways to use up leftovers, I'm sure nothing will go to waste with a family to feed.

[Jackdaw33]

Cauilie, yes. Broccoli, NO! As for ratatouille, I'll leave that for the veggies.

[tonyav]

I could take some of that Lemon meringue and bakewell tart to work in my snap' if theres any left over.

[Jackdaw33]

Snap. Long time since I came across that word. Up here the term is 'bait'.

[Mamyalynne]

You don't hear 'scran' much now do you?

[tonyav]

No you don't, Mamya.

I'ts always been snap in my neck of the woods.

[Jackdaw33]

Scran is still used up here, though it tends to refer to food generally, rather than a packed lunch.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh yes, it just popped into my head re food etc
