We have had a very busy day today--we had Christmas all over again--minus the tree! That would be taking things too far!I had some boxes of canvas and things to move from the dining room to make room for Carl and Marce-its used as an overflow from the garage sometimes!
Bill got the turkey in the oven and did the veg while I made the bread sauce and my special stuffing loaf
--its really delicious--
I line a silicon loaf tin with streaky bacon and add layers of sage (from garden) and onion stuffing, sausage meat, a thick layer of garlic chives from the garden-cranberry sauce in the middle and repeat.
Fold over the bacon on the top add sage leaves and bake--
use turkey baster to take any excess fat off ( I put the crusts saved from making bread sauce into container and put excess fat over top for wild birds)
when the top is crispy I turn it out and put on baking sheet and return to oven until bottom and sides are crispy.
Its as nice cold as it is hot as well.
The Christmas Pud was served with clotted cream and was definatly no good for the waist line or the diabetes but as its a one off it wont hurt Im sure.
Marce is expecting our 4th grandchild in early August-and they are off for a 20 week scan at the
hospital tomorrow--but they are not going to find out the sex of it--that will be a suprise til it arrives-which will be lovely-
