Making a turkey a'la weber plus roasting a leg of lamb and a pork neck in the oven this afternoon - making gravy for each - and then we jump in the car and head to the in-laws to eat.

That is just beyond sane :(

I think out whole menu worked out R500.00 if I quickly add it up.Most expensive item were the prawns, but still reasonable at R112 for 1kg of queens.

The year before that, when went to a xmas buffet, R250.00 per head,Rock up pig out, and leave again, without having to concern your self with the mess and dishes afterwards.

Tonight I am making some Semolina Gnocchi with a lamb curry, going to be awesome, the gnocchi, is topped with bread crumbs and Parmesan and roasted in the oven till caramelized...:P

I use the rotisserie - no seasoning and no basting - just round and round until it's done - which incidentally is far less time than in an oven.

eccono foods bloemfontein. :P. No we shopped around. P n P, R250.00 for 800G queens, checkers R200.00 and so on so...Food lovers market is about R140.00 but 800G as well. Eccono foods specializes in catering and restaurant food, where I get most of my stuff for my take away.But meh we did get some eisbeins and roast chickens and tongues for the 1st of jan picnic menu.
 
People eat on Christmas? I always thought it was a day to just drink. I'm all stocked up with liquor to celebrate the birth of Father Christmas.
 
breakfast: pizza
lunch: Omelette (asparagus, cheddar, feta, caramelised red onion and mushroom)
supper: ?
