I've been working on smoking a brisket all day. Been fighting with the fire half the day so we're running a little behind but it finally came up to the target temp and is resting now while the baked potatoes are cooking. I've only tried a brisket once before and wasn't too happy with how it turned out. Today's method involved a simple seasoning and wrapping it in foil half way through to really cook in those juices, so we'll see how it turns out.

A traditional sour cabbage soup called Kapustnica, followed by homemade pork schnitzels with potato salad. For drinks we have boiled plum wine with spices.

Eggnog German pancakes tonight, crème brûlée French toast for Christmas morning breakfast and a slow smoked brisket a d smoke Mac and cheese for the big meal

Typical dinner - fish soup, fried carp with potato salad.

I really like it, each year we have lots of potato salad and strong soup.

Probably a turcockduckgoosen or something. I'm not sure though.

I had noodles and tinned mackerel for Xmas dinner (I live alone).

I plan on going to the supermarket for vegan Ben & Jerries and Mr Kipling iced Xmas slices Boxing day. I'll eat both in one sitting then fall asleep on the sofa.

My sorrow.
