What are you doing for your starter?
Last year I just did a simple asparagus starter. This was good as it was piss-easy to make.

I have no idea at all
I'd like to do something different. Last year I did smoked salmon, soda bread and made portwine jelly in little fish moulds to go with it
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:19, Reply)

I did consider salmon with dill.

I've deleted until I can find a better link
But trust me. It's going badly. I've already drunk about half the booze I bought in.

I know the text is the same
but the other one looked nicer.

Yes, but it had my full name in the link
*is idiot*
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:38, Reply)

But at least with the old link we knew EXACTLY WHO the idiot was.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:50, Reply)

All I can say is that I'm really tired
And a bit drunk.

And really fucking stupid, apparently.

Being drunk on the Internet is great.
More people should do it.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:56, Reply)

I'm not that drunk
Just drunk enough to let that pass me by for a minute. I don't care about /OTers knowing my name, I have quite a few on Facebook. However, there's a couple of trolls who don't like me and I'm wary of them

*looks suspiciously*

What have I done?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:00, Reply)

I was watching out for them sneaking up
They do that, you know.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:01, Reply)

I've not noticed.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:04, Reply)

Well, I have one who apparently has it in for me
I consider it an accomplishment. But I don't want him having a go IRL.

Care to share who it is?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:10, Reply)

Not here.
They've left me alone for a couple of weeks now, I'm hoping we've reached some sort of entante cordiale and I don't want to rock the boat.

That's fair enough
I was only being nosey.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:14, Reply)

S'fair enough
If our positions were reversed I'd be nosy too.

I'm not doing a starter this year
but I am making beef wellington and boozy chocolate hazelnut torte.
(berk, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:22, Reply)

I'm doing beef rather than turkey this year.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:23, Reply)

Turkey is alright
but only about one year in every three or four. It's just boring for every year, and really easy to overcook so that it's dry and minging.
(berk, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:26, Reply)

I'm going for a mustard crust beef
With roasties, some mash, 4 veg, yorkies and various other trimmings!

especially for someone who insists christmas is BENT. Cooking for the ma and pa, I take it?

Yeap.
And don't get me wrong. Christmas IS fucking bent.

But food isn't.

Rolling one's eyes
is basically just tutting with your eyes. Is that flattering?

It's a part you play so well.

I'll bet butter WOULD melt.

it was quite rude and almost certainly overly flirtatious!

It's after the watershed, tell your joke.

Turkey and trimmings here
Turns out a shop in town sells gin and tonic sorbet, so that's the between courses sorted
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:26, Reply)

Hehe
that sounds like some excellet sorbet, right there. I once had some similar, then tried to drunkenly recreate it by mixing cheap ice cream with some lemon curd and a load of gin. It did not go well, but we ate it anyway.
