We had to cook the turkey in C's oven because ours was not big enough - we only have a small top part working. C had promised to make a cake for dessert, but we only realised on the day that she cannot make it, she does not have any spac ein the oven. So we used all our chocolate in the house and made fresh chocolate brownies that went to the oven just when we got the main course out.
Starter was non-traditional too - puff pastry squares with three fillings.
Guests were lovely and the evening was good, thank you all, my housemates for preparing the meal and guest for visiting us. There were times when there was too many of us in the kitchen, no space and I thought "too many chefs spoil the soup". There were also moments like "What are you doing? should you do this? In my country ....." "But we can also do this, in my country......" D thought I need to put salt to parsnip when roasting them with honey. I would not put salt, but was not sure, resulting in a text sent to my English friend asking for advice. She said "No salt!!!" and I silently put no salt.
Fortunately everything worked out fine.
