Thanks all. Lovely day yesterday. We are having a pause day today though and have deferred Boxing day untl tomorrow when my brother can join us. Mum and I had a walk along the sea front earlier followed by turkey broth and onion bread. The Phil Vickery turkey roasting method delivers delicious broth even before you get to the turkey carcuss stage. So I didn't have to do more than chop up the already cooked veg, add some water to yesterdays left over cookign liquer and heat it up. Doddle - Delicious doddle.

Yes, it says i've asked you for over a year to leave me alone and you haven't and that i've reached the end of my patience with you. It also says you stalk my posts, where ever they may be even hidden away in chatter. Leave me the **** alone go and harass someone else.
Publicly embarrassing the guy is unnecessary.

Surely this should've been sent in a private message? If you don't want messages from him then surely you can use the ignore funtion?
Publicly embarrassing the guy is unnecessary. ![]() Please don't tell me how to respond to someone who has been harassing me for over a year. Actually if anyone is embarrassing him it's you, everyone else had moved on and you've brought it back up to everyone's attention, so well done you. You seem determined to make it an issue now. Who's attention are you trying to draw here? |

With Phil's method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-kMDfPHxJk you not only get a lovely succulent turkey in 2 and a half hours for a 12lb bird, but it is cooked in 2 pints of liquid and veg so you get a delivery of broth on Christmas day. It is wonderful for gravy - just add some thickening and a glug of port. But what you don't need for gravy just goes in the fridge with the vegtables and it goes solid. Once reheated it is perfect for lunch. And you still have a second batch from the carcuss to look forward to in a day or two (or for the freezer)

Does it make the turkey taste like it's been stewed ? that would be my concern!
The turkey meat carves beautifuly in neat, fine grained slices, its a succulent as you like and the flavour is magnificent having infused with the liquid containing carrots, onions, leeks, celery, bay leaves and thyme. BTW we don't use the wine that Phil suggests or citrus because it makes the stock bitter. Better to add something like sherry or port to the liquer after the turkey is done. |

No it's fantastic. You take the foil off the meat to brown it for 20 minutes or so. He only suggests butter as a glaze but we add honey and mustrad to our butter and then put streaky bacon on top. The wrapping it in a blanket frees the oven for a good hour of really hot cooking time for roasting spuds, pigs in blankets and forcemeat and stiffing balls.

Better in my opinion. Boxing day lunch is the best of the year. Christmas dinner is pretty well a means to an end, you have to have a Christmas dinner to have the left overs for Boxing day.

Trying to watch the Agatha Christie thing on the beeb, but they keep on playing let me call you sweetheart, mum and dad's song, so distracted. |

Oh the old traditions are great, mrtk still can't get that he has to go out the back door with a lump of coal on New year's Eve, but he gets a kiss at the front door so he doesn't complain too much.
