thursday's post, christmas day

on christmas I got up at 9.10AM because I can never wait on christmas

Breakfast 10.10AM

  • before breakfast I had a few of the little fruity sweets from a hello kitty money box I got in my stocking
  • we generally have two cooked breakfasts a year, the first is on christmas, the second is on boxing day
  • for breakfast I had some fried bread from the deli, with some beans on top of it
  • some very nice almost bacony tasting sausages
  • some funny big bacon that wasn't gammon
  • two pieces of black pudding, in the spirit of trying something new I had one of the pieces fried properly (I usually have it straight from the butchers) as I refused to have it 'cooked' from a very young age. It was kind of really nice, like the best bits of good sausage, but with 100 times all the bad bits of strange meat and sausage tastes
  • to drink with it we had orange juice, which was a great treat
  • after this I tried to avoid eating any snacks of chocolates so I could make room for having stuff later

Lunch 2.05PM

  • lunch was a nice meal of lots of little things to pick at, I suppose they were like canapes but i've never had those so I can't commit a name to what we had
  • my dad cut little rounds out of baguettes and on top of them put various little things, I had the ones with nice warm chicken with sweet chili sauce on them
  • and the ones with a layer of salami then a slice of gherkin on them
  • I also had some of those mini picnic eggs
  • and some salt and pepper crisps
  • I think I had a banana, this is one of the few things on my lists that i'm not sure about though - I might check this lunch over with the rest of the family just to make sure

Christmas Dinner 6.45PM

  • my mum has gone off turkey so we had capon for christmas dinner (not like she had any of it though) its the first time i've ever had capon and it does taste amazing, something very different to a normal chicken taste, kind of like a lighter turkey - it still tasted very christmasy
  • there was also peas
  • carrots
  • I had one brussel sprout but there were more
  • some really nice roast potatoes cooked in lots of flour to make them lovely
  • some full sized sausages
  • some mini sausages
  • some wonderful mini sausages wrapped in bacon
  • some stuffing balls that didn't have any bad bits in at all
  • some bacon rolls
  • I also had some gravy on all of it, but I limited my gravy intake so I could properly taste everything for the special meal
  • I also tried bread sauce properly for the first time, and i've decided its actually a wonderful sauce and defiantly worth having again
  • after this I finished off some of the left over capon along with some roast potatoes and stuffing balls
  • for pudding I had some very nice lemon sorbet which is a perfect christmas treat

Snacks 7.20PM+

  • first I had a go at some of the left overs, mainly the bacon rolls and lovely stuffing balls (I love cold stuffing)
  • finally I cracked into the christmas chocolates, we opened a big tub (they've stopped using tins apparently) of celebrations where I then picked at a lot of galaxy truffles, maltesters and the odd snickers
  • I then had some banks, I had four glasses which was two cans
