The children's table (Sil, Dom, H & Hazel) - spot the vegetarians' plates.


Making the stuffing.


Balls of golden brown stuffing (sage, onion and apple, with bacon, breadcrumbs and sausagemeat and extra seasoning).



Making the gravy - chicken carcasses, turkey neck & giblets, carrot, onion and celery, bay leaf and peppercorns.



Making the luxury cheese sauce (flour, butter, milk, cream, powder and grainy mustard, parsley, mixed herbs, salt & pepper and a whole camerbert) - smooth, gloosy, thick & rich and not a single lump in sight. (Note: the huge thing you see here is the camerbert left to slowly melt into the sauce).


I put more cheese and breadcrumbs on the top before it went into the oven.

More to come.....
