Christmas Dinner

Continuing from our experiment with cooking a chicken in the BBQ, it was time to do the big bird. That's right, for Christmas we cooked a turkey in a BBQ, the first time we had ever done so.

This was much more challenging than the chicken. First off, the bird cannot touch the metal of the grills, so we had to soak some pieces of wood overnight, and place them underneath the roasting pan (they did burn to a crisp after about 3 hours). And about every ten minutes we had to check the temperature, as a BBQ is not sophisticated enough to keep a temperature like an oven. After around 4-5 hours, the bird was ready to eat.



We also made some dressing, however a lack of certain herbs required us to modify the recipe. Instead of using savory, we used curry powder. It sounds weird, but believe it or not it actually works! Besides that we also had potatoes, corn, and delicious canned cranberry sauce.

 Ready for cooking!

 Here we go!

 The final product, yum yum yum!

A day earlier, we also made some homemade chocolate truffles. They're not much to look at, but they taste very good.

Mmm, chocolate...
