We did have an eventful Thanksgiving though! Our friends Nick and Alicia came over for Thanksgiving dinner. We have them over for dinner often and hosting dinner at our house was a lot easier with Clark. We shared the dinner responsibilities and it's amazing how much food 2 families can make for 4.5 people! Clint wanted to make the turkey and so did Alicia so we had 2! Clint wanted to BBQ a turkey and found a great recipe where you put bacon over the top.
The eventful part of the night had to do with the barbeque. Clint wanted wood chips but we couldn't find any on post, so I went to the E-Mart to see if they would have something. Instead I found this:
 |
| Yes, that's fire extinguisher powder... |
They said Smoked Oak Charcoal. They smelled good so Clint tried to use them. He had started some of our regular charcoal and attempted to put one of these Korean disk charcoal things into the bbq. It didn't fit so he took it out and set it under the bbq in the little ash tray thing. He was looking around for something to break it apart with when smoke started to come up around the bbq. Clint couldn't figure out where the smoke was coming from, when flames started to erupt from under the bbq. It got so bad that he got the fire extinguisher and put it out. But the Korean charcoal was more like a trick candle and kept igniting. He ended up having to go get a bucket of water and dump the Korean charcoal disk into the water.
Here is a video of what the charcoal does when you light it:
We did have a delicious meal and all the food was wonderful!
