Nothing to do with Mayan calendars, degrees in circles or Killearn dialling code.
But it is start of countdown to the next time I touch a turkey. Finished off with a rather fine curried turkey soup for lunch today. :-)
This year the turkey was a really excellent bird - possibly best ever. Flavour, texture, size, smell, everything. The DIY bit was my cooking of it - as always. And the dishes. :-)

Hmmm...
I'm just about to have the last two of my 38 mince pies.
Unless there are more reduced tomorrow.

--------------- ASDA yesterday, bags of sprouts, 10p. Marvellous.
I eat mince pies all year round. Quite impressed with goose, which I had for the first time courtesy of Lidls
Is that how much they pay you to take them away?
I'd want more.
My favourite veg, sprouts. I have them most days at this time of year.

So it's *YOU* responsible for the gales in the Uk FFS !
Bastid !
Nah, Surely Sprouts are good for TMH business!!!
Replacement lavatory seats and fittings?
:-)
You know how not to ruin them when you cook them. Badly cooked sprouts are truly dreadful - but properly done ones are delicious.
Unfortunately, most 'cooks' ruin them.
Has pretty appalling ones this Xmas - was visiting. Cooked to a mush. Sadly some like them like this because that's the way mummy cooked them. ;-)
4 minutes in a microwave with just a tablespoon of water produces excellent results - and they still look like sprouts too.
Yes. Sometimes I quarter them, zap in the MC for 3 minutes, then finish in a frying pan with butter and slivered garlic.
I have a freezer full of turkey breast steaks (as in bought fresh, not Bernard Matthews).
I eat them for dinner frequently.

We weren't. Team decision, nothing special about it at all.
And "Mrs wouldn't be seen dead in there" paid three times [1] as much in M&S

[1] Just a guess on my part I've no idea how much they were in Lidl, but the M&S one was extortionate!
it is of course necessary to wake early - about 4AM - on Christmas Day, to ensure that the sprouts are given a sufficiently long boil.
why not put them on before you go to bed - it would allow an extra few hours.
That was my sister's first exposure to sprouts. Grey, mushy, stinky lumps.
And chopped chestnuts.
Which I forgot on Xmyth day.
Or walnuts.
I think I managed to forget to serve up the cranberry sauce for the third or fourth year running. Not very keen on it myself so it doesn't figure in "what I want on my plate" - but I should be gracious enough to think of it for others.
Now we are out of turkey, what on earth can I use it up with? Hmmm.....
