Made any plans for Sunday? If so cancel them. (You need to be imagining that I'm using my most stern "Teacher Voice" here)
On Sunday you are going to do a Christmas trial run!
You are going to roast a chicken. "Why" you ask "why oh why do I need to make a roast dinner this close to the actual day?"
Well here's why:
1. You haven't yet made the stuffing I told you to make a week ago.
2. You haven't yet made any braised red cabbage for your freezer - I told you to do this months ago.
3. You really need to make a good chicken stock and freeze it for your gravy on the big day.
4. You might want to try out one or two of the vegetables you fancy for the big day.
5. Sauce! You need to make sure you have enough pots, pans and roasting trays for the big day.
You do not need to do all the trimmings for this Sunday's roast - If you have a great method for carrots, then it does not need re-hashing this weekend. But if you thinking of trying something new with your parsnips then this is the time to give it a go. I think we'll save the pigs in blankets for the 25th too.
