The two of us got dried off and then headed back to the bedroom, where only two of the four plates remained. I grabbed two robes, and once we were clothed, Annie joined me on the couch, and we took the tops off our food.
"Mmm, it still smells good, and it looks warm! This is one of my favorite dishes!" Annie said as she picked up a chicken breast, but it looked gray.
"Umm, are you sure that is okay to eat? It looks a bit off-colored…." I said, my voice trailing off as I looked at the piece of chicken that was about to enter Annie's mouth, but she laughed before it hit.
"Silly, this is smoked chicken! It's one of the best things that my father prepares! Here, just try a bite!" Annie said, shoving her piece at my mouth.
I looked at the gray chicken and nodded before taking a bite. I knew of smoking, but I had never tried anything but beef or pork smoked.
