I'm going away right up until Christmas eve, and don't want to be doing a lot of shopping while I'm away, or risk things being unavailable the day before.
I'm only away for five days, so figure I can get in a whole lot of stuff before I go.
I need to feed two others and, unlike me, they're not food intolerant or particularly fussy, so I'd like it to be all about them (one is coming about 1500 miles and is 80 years old).
I figure dessert is easy.. plum pudding, a rather lovely fluffy brandy sauce I always make, icecream and berries. Cream I can buy with a long use-by before I go, icecream is fine, as it the plum pud, and I'll use frozen berries or pick them up on the way home. Things like chocolates etc are easy.
It's more starters and a main course.
Could the good people of TCS offer me suggestions? They can be out of left field.. it's very hot here at Christmas, so sometimes we have salmon, salads etc. and there's quite a bit of 'prawns on the barbie' but that doesn't work for me as I don't have one.
And many are traditional.
Anything you suggest would be gratefully accepted!
