Especially that you can make them in advance, freeze them and bake them straight from the freezer! Dead easy, no stress (once you know how long they need in your oven!) :P

Totally agree Annie, no cooking for me either, we are eating out Xmas Day, other than that all my food will be from Marks or Waitrose's.

NL you said last Xmas was your last one :lol:

Enjoy from Linell.

Hi Lin........Stop in Grannie, and do your own cooking far better than eating out especially if the Poultry ain't cooked enough.
Yours and my families never ate out........lucky to have a bird at Xmas !

Mini Christmas puds are in the steamer - hope they turn out okay!! I'm planning on serving them to my in laws, it'll be their first time tasting them (and my first time making them!). I've got eight, and only need six, so I can taste test them first!!

I love Christmas day at home.
We never eat at a planned time, its always much later and always more people eating than I expect!
Will always have enough food and find a seats for them.

Noisy here mind, all the kids playing games. My Mum even joined in on a game thing. Cant think what its called is it fish or something? :? But it was all shooting and things, I didnt like that.

My husband will be home this year too :grin:

They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating......
Well for a first attempt I'd say they were okay. And they can only get better after a few weeks standing around!!! (My mini christmas puds, that is). Only thing missing was a drop of custard :wink:
