We're cooking a family Christmas dinner in 2 days for the first time ever

[busybeeburns]

Any tips? :o

[Destrokk]

Pre-cooked.

[xxKels]

For how many ?

What's the choice of meat ? (ham, turkey,beef,lamb?):srs:

How much do you wish to do from scratch and how much store bought?

 

Or just toss the work and call a caterer !

 

Ian- I assume you are in charge of drinks.....?:drunkjoe:

 

 

[eff-exx]

Marinade the meat overnight, then just pop it in the oven or some.

Corona's and Tequila also available at the home taproom?

 

On a sidenote, I'd highly encourage you to try out one of these recipes. I used to hate them but they have really helped me to survive during the last couple of months.

Awesome advice!

[melanieau]

Make sure to look inside the turkey and take out the bundle of organs/innards that they usually stuff inside before you cook the bird :D

[NumbersGirl]

Get them wasted before you feed them.

 

Before you cook the turkey, and after you remove the innards (as noted above), stuff a cornish game hen inside. Then when you take it out and carve it, you can fool all the drunkards into thinking the turkey was pregnant.
