    Scandinavian rice porridge with butter, sugar and cinnamon for lunch
    (An almond is slipped into the pot and whoever finds it gets a marzipan-pig)
    Dinner is a huge pork rib cooked for several hours with lots of fat. I think an average christmasdinner portion is something like 1700 kcal.. xD

    Me too - except I'll be going bowling and eating Chinese food. The movie theaters are too crowded!

    I'm in Australia too and it's hot. We're having a beach picnic with my sister. I'm taking roast chicken, creamy potato bake, Asian slaw and something I saw on Pinterest called cowboy crack, lol. Sis will be bringing lots of food to share, including a favourite savoury dish our great aunt made. I'll be drinking a nice NZ Sauvignon Blanc and hubs will guzzle (too much) beer.

    We've decided to have a roast duck this year, with roast veggies and crispy potatoes. I'm mostly looking forward to trying heston blumenthal pudding with custard.

    Then we going to do it all again at both my relatives. The biggest danger is cheese and biscuits which will be on offer at my in-laws before lunch is served. So I've decided to take some veggie sticks and hummus along instead.

    What's on your menu?

    Everything.

    Not going to be eating at home so no idea yet. Not that it really matters, I saved up enough calories to splurge all I want.

    Eating at the in-laws, traditional turkey roast. Chestnut stuffing, teeny pigs in blankets etc. but it's the roast potatoes I'm always most excited about.

    I've made potted shrimp for starters and a trifle big enough to bathe in for afters. It's the third trifle I've made this week though. Today I used 900ml of cream and 12 egg yolks for the custard - it's not terrible gluttony as there will be a lot of people eating, but damn, that's a lot of custard Nigella.

    There's only three of us this year, so it will be small. We're having roast prime rib, steamed sweet potatoes, cauliflower roasted with olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper, and a green salad with avocado and oranges. Dessert is pecan pie and whipped cream.
