Just as well it wasn't a last minute dash to a supermarket on Saturday.MAJOR PANIC here today!!!
Suddenly remembered that SWMBO always wants a "Cottams Hot Pot" on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve
It is actually not a Hot Pot but a family sized pie with Hot Pot ingredients - her family had this as a tradition of having it on these date
Anyway - I normally order that and the turkey from the same place
but this year we have found a better butcher and ordered the meat from there and forgot the Hot Pot
ANyway - I rushed down to the market - where the old deli is located - but they insisted that it was far too late to order one (actually two) and it had to be done by last week
OH ****
anyway - went on the WWW and found that one local posh farm shop does them
so I dashed up there and they were all "Oh yes - no problem at all - when do you want it"
no rush involved or anything
so now it is all ordered and being picked up on Friday - same as the turkey
we will have the grand-kids - at least the boys - so we can have an expedition to get them all
WHEW!
You were luck, this time.
