Groaning table
The Christmas pudding with flaming brandy.
We had a very merry Christmas Day at Viv and Chris’s house in Epping, with nephew Alexei visiting. He’s half-way through his world tour. We had a drop of champagne while we opened presents in the garden – lots of lovely things for everyone.
Viv cooked a big turkey with roast spuds, Yorkshire pudding and lots of veggies. There were pigs in blankets and other little delicacies in case the turkey was just not enough.
After first course we played a card game that Alexei brought along called Cards against Humanity. It is billed as “ . . . a party game for horrible people. Unlike most of the party games you’ve played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.” Hmm. It was a very funny game.
Christmas pudding with custard, brandy butter and ice cream followed. Phew! No shortage of grub. A good time was had by all.
Please explain…’pigs in blankets?!’
Little sausages wrapped in bacon – yum!
