Christmas Dinner

A snowy Wednesday this week saw us in the shed enjoying our Christmas dinner.
 It felt nice and spacious after we cleaned it out last week.
 Par boiling the vegetables before roasting and frying the bacon/garlic/walnuts/sprouts and curly kale mix.  We didn't grow sprouts this year, so had to buy those in!  The vegetables included several varieties of our own potatoes - Blue Belle, Highland Burgundy Red, Golden Wonder and Smile.  We also enjoyed sweet potato, butternut squash and swede in roasted selection.
 Keep that tongue in Danielle!  Carrying hot food out to the shed: Cameron carries the mash, Danielle the roast vegetables and Grigor the jug of gravy.
It was a freezing day, but the crowd and hot food soon warmed up the shed!   
 We enjoyed the bad cracker jokes!  Everyone had seconds and even "thirds".
We had mince pies for second course, and when the bell went, there was nothing left!  A feast enjoyed by all!  Happy Christmas to all members and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year for more gardening.  Happy Christmas also to our followers - we hope you have enjoyed following our activities this year, and look forward to your comments next Year.
