I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was... eventful (for lack of a better word). It started out great! We planned a nice meal and invited some friends and our neighbor over. But as with everything in the world issues kept popping up. For instance I couldn't find a smaller turkey so I got a 24 lb one which caused some trouble with cooking it, like having to double the marinade recipe, or not cooking it for long enough. But for the first time cooking a turkey in Germany in these funny ovens it wasn't so bad.
Ricky prepping the turkey. He hates touching raw meat, but insists on doing the turkey. I don't mind one bit. :)
Let the baking begin.
I didn't get any pictures of everyone or how everything turned out because I was distracted with making sure everyone was having a good time, and serving the food. Well, after just finishing eating dinner Ricky got a call from work saying that he was supposed to be there. He was told he was on call. So, yeah... After getting yelled at on the phone, he changed into his uniform and rushed into work. I did an ok job of entertaining but I'm not really much of a hostess by myself. Anyways, all in all it was an enjoyable evening and the guest seemed to enjoy themselves. And luckily Ricky didn't have to work a full shift.
As for Christmas we went small this year and got ourselves a cheap electric drill set. We had our chocolate chip pancakes, opened presents (the few that we got from family), and just hung out for the rest of the day. It wasn't fancy or even remotely a big event but I wouldn't change a thing about it.
