Cooking My Christmas Dinner
These pictures show how I cooked my Christmas Feast for One from Roasted by Jack and Scott.
Note.
- It took under forty minutes from when the oven had warmed up and the water was simmering to cook the meal.
- The only utensils I used were a pair of scissors and a slice to get the bags out of the hot water.
- Washing up was minimal and nothing needed a heavy scrub, which is always a good thing.
- Vegetables were over generous for someone like me, who only weighs 63 kilos.
Anybody, who can put together some IKEA flatpack furniture and who knows how to boil water, stick a ready meal in the oven, should be able to cook this meal.
I have to wonder how many people could cook a delicious meal like this this from scratch in forty minutes.
The package included Christmas pudding. I’ll cook that tomorrow!
I can also remember several fraught Christmas mornings, when C was cooking Christmas Dinner. Usually, they involved my mother-in-law! This meal would certainly avoid, the too many cooks problem, as one person could cook a meal for four in well under an hour.
If I have to spend Christmas by myself again or I am entertaining a small number of people, I’ll seriously think about going back to Jack and Scott.
AW, all I can say is that the photo montage of my Xmas meal would have started with the de-corked wine bottle and a rather large glass of the plonk!! Cheers.

I mustn’t drink too much alcohol, as I’m on Warfarin. But I’ve been a real ale drinker since I was 13! So it hasn’t done me any harm for sixty years.
