I'm not doing a starter this year
but I am making beef wellington and boozy chocolate hazelnut torte.

I'm doing beef rather than turkey this year.

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.

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

Very domesticated!

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?

I'll bet butter WOULD melt.
*makes note to bring butter to the next bash*

*Actually, scrub that, it sounds wrong.*

Yes
yes, it really does.

You have my word.

Go on, what was it?

Haha, I'm not saying
it was quite rude and almost certainly overly flirtatious!

Now I really intrigued.
It's after the watershed, tell your joke.

(Expects the joke to be not worth the build up).

Naw, you;re right
I've built it up too much now.

Turkey and trimmings here
Turns out a shop in town sells gin and tonic sorbet, so that's the between courses sorted

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.
