With the holiday season all over us, it was time to celebrate some stuff, and with the world being a little more gray than black & white these days, my hosts over here in Calgary invited me to "Chrismakkah" which is a cross between the generic Christmas and the Jewish tradition of Hanukkah, celebrated on the 21st of January, which coincideds with the first day of Hanukkah.
The celebration is anything but a religious experience, although there is the subtle nods to both traditions ...
In preparation for Chrismakkah, Andrew invited me to help him make "Turducken" which for those that have never heard of this, is a massive turkey, stuffed with a boned duck, stuffed with a boned chicken.
Andrew had a bit of fun taking all the bones out of the turkey and duck and then cheated on the chicken by just stuffing it with chicken breasts. My part came in when it was time to stuff it and stitch it up.
It was all worth it as the Turducken was amazing and has continued to be amazing for the next 5 meals.
The actual night went brilliantly with all of us drinking and eating waaaaay too much, a nice little preview for what was to come on December 25th .......
