We had fun at the restaurant last night although it wasn't cheap. Our friends told us they had an exciting experience while making Xmas dinner for 23 people. It seems they had squeezed 2 smaller sized turkeys into the oven by using a foil roaster for one of them. It sort of bent in beside the other roaster. Unfortunately it sprung a leak and the turkey fat dripped to the bottom of the oven and when they opened the door to check on it, they were greeted with a wall of flame. But the unflappable hosts quickly shut the door, turned the oven off and that saved the day. They were even able to eat all the turkey afterward. I don't know if I'm capable of such quick thinking, but I'll try to remember that one anyway. I guess that's why they say you should never leave your cooking unattended.
I was impressed when I heard about their 18 person seafood meal that they had at the lady's mom's house on Xmas eve. It seems they traditionally have a 7 course seafood meal consisting of every type of seafood you can think of. Fish, shrimp, scallops, squid...mmm. This made me think of how much red meat we eat, and I'm consciously steering away from prime rib roasts marbled with fat, however tender it can be.
