Happy Christmas Eve

This year for a change we spent Christmas away from Stockton and had a lovely couple of days over in Huddersfield with Robert, Laraine, Oliver and Alicia.  Christmas Eve we went out for dinner at The Hinchliffe in Mytholmroyd, we had pre ordered the starters and main so we spent part of the afternoon trying to remember what everyone had ordered while watching The Snowman on TV.

Dinner was great, the starters arrived almost as soon as we had sat down and while my chicken liver pate was lovely I was annoyed that I had let myself get put off by the sound of the Cream of Tomato soup - I thought that it sounded a bit too much like it might come from a Heinz tin.  When it arrived for Oliver it obviously wasn't as I had expected and it looked so good.

I decided to go for a main course of Fish and Chips to avoid having anything too similar to the turkey that I imagined I would be eating for the next week and that was also fantastic.  A huge piece of fish and big fat chunky chips.  I still found a little bit of room for the Apple and Sultana Crumble and the Orange Creme that Alicia and I were nearly fighting over but luckily a second one arrived just in time.
