After obviously but from my time working with them the best way to warm a bagel is keep it whole and put it in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes, then cut it in half Makes the outside crisp but keeps the inside light and fluffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Today was supposed to be a chill in the matching PJ’s but the in-laws (who were supposed to be going to their caravan today) have reported that their roof has leaked onto the newly plaster bedroom ceiling… and the car won’t start They’re gonna come round here for some food and drinks instead. Hopefully it cheers them up a bit as that’s pretty shitty luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Had a lay in today and got up at 8am, another round of presents from my wife’s friend who’s been lodging with us for a while. Got some nice stuff again including a samosa maker. My missus is cooking a big Christmas dinner for about 10 family members today. We’ve had our posh eggs royale breakfast, I’ve eaten three mince pies and a handful of chocolates and I’ve not lost my appetite yet, so that’s good news! Off to pick up the missus’ grandparents soon, they’re both 93 and funny as hell. They haven’t been out since I took them to B&Q in September, so they’ll enjoy coming here for a bit today. It’s going to be mega busy and here, my mission is to entertain the guests, help the missus not have a mental breakdown and to make sure the Villa game is on if it goes ahead later.

Rds1983 Posted December 26, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2021 Spending the day and evening at the in laws. They don't do football and object to people staring at their phones. So no watching the game for me today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t you feign some kind of gastro-related illness and take yourself off to the toilet for the afternoon? Seriously though, it’s your day too. They shouldn’t be stopping your fun, watching on your phone won’t hurt them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) I remember reading on VT a while ago that there might be a turkey shortage so I immediately panicked and logged on to m&s and ordered one. Only, in my haste I'd reserved a turkey crown and not the whole bird.....not only that but it cost me £55.....feeds 8-10. I couldn't be arsed to change it and saw it as a lesson to myself to take my time and not rush. Picked it up, feeds 8-10 my arse ! So, am even more annoyed with myself. Anyway, roasted it yesterday and bugger me if it wasn't the best tasting, moist bird I'd ever got my chops around !! However, next year I am going to take my time, not panic and not read any scaremongering stories on VT Happy Xmas VTers xxx Edited December 26, 2021 by mottaloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
