Christmas at home

We had Christmas at home with some friends (and one of their pets!) round for dinner.

We cooked roast pheasant, roast chicken, roast potatoes with rosemary and garlic, roast parsnips with honey, sage and apple stuffing, steamed carrots with cumin, stir-fried brussels with chestnut slices, slow cooked red cabbage, pheasant gravy. Our friends brought cranberry sauce and Christmas pud. (And on Boxing Day I did bugger all)*

*Late on Boxing Day I started to feel unusually bad, a cold, just a cold, but a bad cold with some vomiting and I have no energy or immunity to fight off any extra problems so these things seem to hit me hard. A week later I am feeling a little better but not over it. Grrrr. Annoying.
