Yum Yum!!

Sunday afternoon we decided to cook Pollo Al Broaster for dinner. It was quite the process, but DELICIOUS!!

First we had to cut a lot of foil...

Then potatoes

And carrots

And onions

And chicken

And chorizo was the final touch.

I missed taking pictures of the boys climbing the trees with machetes to cut down branches, but that is how they got the firewood!

I can understand stealing a few raw carrots, but the onions???

We burned everything we had until only hot coals were left.

In the foil, each boy got to put his own potatoes, carrots, onions, chicken, and chorizo. With a little salt and oil...it was ready to go!

Some posing was required while we waited for the coals...

Our little workers...


When the food was put together nicely, they wrapped it up in the foil, sealing all the edges.

They were very careful because they didn't want to loose a single potato.

Dinner is even better when your big brother makes it for you!

It was a long line, but the boys loved getting to make their own plate.

The grandes are "experts" so they helped everyone who would let them touch their plates.

Yes, that is a whole lot of rain coming our way!

When the coals were good and red, in went all the plates.

I have no idea how each boy remembered exactly which foil packet was his, but they did!

We did at least group each dorm's plates together.

And yes, we used a shovel to put them in and take them out.

They cooked for 20 minutes as the rain drew nearer and nearer.

And Ronald, who planned the entire dinner, carefully took each one out with the shovel when you could hear them sizzling inside.

This photo absolutely does not do justice to the final product. It was AMAZING!!

I hope we do this again...often :)
