We washed our turkey old serving plates I told you about on Sunday:
If only they could speak? I wonder how my Christmas turkeys have been served on these plates?
It's a shame we are not big Turkey eaters and we don't believe in leftovers or Turkey sandwiches and Turkey curry for days. Any meat left over the dogs get it. Any vegetables the pigs get it!
What are you having for your Christmas Dinner?
We will probably have steak again and an all day hot and cold buffet. We have even had a chilli and a curry one year. Oh one year we made homemade pizza with a curry topping.
Hope you like the plates? I think I will sell them some time or get plate hangers for some of them and hang them on a wall. If I can find some vacant wall space that is?
We placed them in sealed polythene bags and are resting back on top of a cupboard.
I think I am a bit of treasure Womble or maybe a Jackdaw?😃 Perhaps I should live in a second hand shop? Only trouble is I wouldn't sell anything I liked.
I like your plates, especially the red turkey one and fresh-looking floral one.
ReplyDeleteAs for Christmas dinner, we will probably have some sort of meat and a vegetarian option for the vegetarian daughter. No pigs in blankets this year - last year's put me right off for some reason. I prefer the cold meats after Christmas with bubble and squeak and pickles.
Thank you Jabblog. Cold meats and pickles are great. Even the pubs are closed in Ireland on Christmas Day. I wish we lived near a Wetherspoon's and had a our Christmas party/dinner there. I think it's on a Wednesday this year. It seems to get more dragged out every year. Why can't it be on the nearest Sunday? After all Jesus is supposed to have been born in September. I wish I was going somewhere sunny for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLovely plates. They do need a big roast joint don't they?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what we shall be eating on Christmas Day. We shall be in Madrid and will have to see if any restaurants are open.
Thanks JayCee. They do need a big roast joint. I bet you can't wait to get to Spain? It's horrible wet and windy here today.
ReplyDeleteMy mum always used her huge willow server at holiday times, the rest of the year it was left on show on a high shelf. We are having turkey again, we all love it, I make a turkey pie, using cold turkey shredded and mixed with cranberry jelly, pop in a dish, top with a nice stuffing mix and bake, always moist.

ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas memories Marlene. My Irish grandmother use to send us a parcel wrapped up in brown paper and tied up with string with one of her fresh turkeys and hand knitted jumpers for me and my brother and presents for my mum and dad. The postman had to knock on the door with a heavy and lumpy parcel covered in stamps from Eire. Happy days!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of turkey ashets. I had loads of shallow ashets from my Grandmother's but left them with my mother when I first moved to UK. I never got them back and I think she destroyed them in the dishwasher!
ReplyDeleteIf I see a bargain it comes home with me TM. There's still plenty of the plates in antiques shops but they are not cheap. I saw one like the first big blue willow pattern serving plate for sale for sixty Euros.
