For never was a story of more woe than this of our Christmas Eve Dinner!
I've got to share with you the sad tale of our dinner on Chrstmas Eve!! 😂😂
We were having green beans, a gammon joint and Mr D was using this as an opportunity to try out his roast potatoes ahead of Christmas day.
Mr D was cooking, and I was sitting in the living room when I suddenly heard a massive crash. I ran out into the kitchen and the gammon joint was on the floor; it had apparently skidded halfway across the room leaving a trail of juice and gravy behind it. Apparently it had slipped out of Mr D's hands as he was taking it out of the oven. The pyrex dish that it had been cooking in was smashed to bits and there were shards of glass everywhere. Barry and I picked the gammon up off the floor to see if we could clean it up and salvage it, but it was full of glass fragments, so it was inedible; we couldn't even put it out for the foxes. 😕.
At this point, the green beans and the roast potatoes were all done and ready, so in the end, I had a dinner of roast potatoes and green beans - for the record, they were beautifully cooked. Mr D managed to find one slice of ham lurking at the back of the fridge to add to his dinner.
Definitely one of the more memorable meals I've ever had!!!
