Night-Before Preparation

Few more preparations for the Christmas lunch...we've made a batch of mince pies (and bread, but that's not unusual), iced the cake (actually yesterday, but never mind), and I've prepared the turkey (removed the breasts, and re-bundled as a bone-less joint; I also removed the wings and legs (going to the in-laws, who provided the bird, for use), and stripped the carcase of scraps for soup/casserole) and stuffing (a concoction, as normal, of bacon, turkey bits, onion, spices, and breadcrumbs—seems to have worked). Almost ready!
