Today we had pot roasted pheasant with cider, bacon and savoy cabbage. Not had pheasant for a few years but this was a real hit today. Also had some great pale ale from the Tempest Brewing Company in Kelso.

Mr Woppit - that a very boring picture of a kitchen ๐Ÿ™‚

Highlight would be the family lunch with my kids (many thanks to the gf who did most of the work)

Amuse bouche: Parsnip puree with truffle
First course: Artichoke and Asparagus Risotto
Main coursex2: Wild Mushroom pie, Courgette, tomato and goat cheese pie
Cheese: numerous, bought in France the weekend before
Desert: Mini Tirmasu

We didn't have room for mince pies or Panatoni ...

Roast goose with gooseberry sauce. Mmmmm. First time I've cooked goose. Much nicer than turkey but takes a bit of effort to sort all the fat out.

A bit of a cheat as we bought it but Aldi Specially Selected Raspberry Roulade was spot on! Light, tangy, creamy, perfect for Boxing Day tea

Christmas dinner was awesome, but I'm really looking forward to a recipe mrs nobeer has for putting the leftover pigs and also the stuffing inside wee Yorkshire puddings! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

And also these on New Years morning -
