Merry Christmas Day!

I had a good day today. Santa Claus brought me a new pair of Hunter Royal Hunter boots: http://www.countryattire.com/products/hunter-royal-hunter-wellington-boots--dark-olive.html and I am very happy with them.

I cooked Christmas dinner today. I'll tell you how to make a bread stuffing to put inside your chicken, then how to cook your chicken in your oven range.

For the stuffing you need 3 slices of white bread, 1 or 2 spoons of dried savoury, 2 onions, 1 clove of garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper.

Cut your bread into 1cm pieces and put in a big bowl. Cut your onions into very small pieces and put in with the bread. Add your savoury. Add some salt and pepper and about 3 spoons of olive oil or melted margarine and mix everything together.

Next take your chicken and open the bottom, between the legs. You then need to put all of the bread stuffing inside the chicken! Trust me when I say YOU CAN fit all that bread into the chicken. Push it in there! See? It does fit! Ok, now your chicken is stuffed and you need to close the bottom with some toothpicks or some string. I use toothpicks.

Now you should put your chicken into your roasting pan and heat your oven to 230C. I put black pepper and sea salt on the skin. The salt will help the skin to be crunchy (this trick also works with roasted fish). I cooked this chicken today for about 1.5 hours and it was perfectly cooked when I finished. I spent a long time sitting in front of the oven and just watcing the chicken to be sure it was fine and not burning!

Tonight's Christmas dinner was delicious. I hope Santa Claus was good to everyone!

Merry Christmas, everyone.
