Christmas lunch was a challenge with just a small electric hotplate with two burners. So I potroasted a small pheasant with apples and onions, and also a stuffed turkey roll in case we didn't like pheasant, which none of us had tried before. I cooked the potatoes and pumpkin in a little frying pan, and steamed the beans and Brussels sprouts. A tradition with pheasant is a spiced fig sauce, so we tried that too - delicious!
In the absence of Christmas pudding with brandy sauce, we had panettone. We drank apple cider, as Alek accidentally opened this in place of the Champagne - never mind, we have a bottle to celebrate New Year!
From cardboard rolls and Christmas napkins, filled with celophane-wrapped chocolates and corny jokes, voila - Christmas crackers! The Christmas hats are also made with napkins - see photo.
Happy festive season (winter solstice) to all!
