Hello Everyone!! We made it through the Camp-fire chickens and Camp-fire turkey!! The 8lb turkey turned out to be rather big (bigger than an 8lb chicken??) and I had to literally squeeze and squash it into the cast-iron pot. The thighs were monster-humongous…. anyway, this one took two hours to cook under coals. We dug up some sweet potatoes in the morning and cooked these in the coals also. Cooked turkey under coals was a success; the turkey was delicious and succulent. I lined the turkey with bacon (modified Jamie Oliver recipe) which added to the juiciness of the meat. I did not take any pictures because I thought that a squashed-up, lop-sided turkey would not be appreciated…Ha-Ha..what would the neighbours say??!
Oh, but I do have other pictures to make you go Ooooh and Ahhhhh!!!
By the way, a Gnome is not just for Christmas…(sorry, couldn’t help sticking this one in…I think I am being really funny…you probably think I am just plain silly).
Home-made bamboo Christmas tree with decorations. Munchkin and Gnome went all out this year:
Oh, and a Christmas duckie too. How auspicious…
This one is very well-behaved and sits quietly. No Star Trek with this one. In fact, not much noise at all because we haven’t been watching anything. This will be a New Zen-Christian Duckie…
New Duckie.

Oooooh….prosciutto, salami and cheese courtesy of Gnome’s Mammy and Papa…thank-you so much:
Ahhhh…oh yes, I did get my salmon…at last. I have been dying for smoked salmon. This is a lovely Gnome display! Salmon also a gift from Gnome’s parents!! Oooooh and Ahhhhh!!!
