some holidays are good no matter where you are and are definitely hard to give up - specifically the all food, all day holiday - thanksgiving. So even though i don't think HK has had any historical pilgrim & indian sit down dinners...I couldn't resist and hosted our first HK thanksgiving dinner!
Starting on Friday, as our oven is about the size of a microwave we began prepping dinner for some of my nearest and dearest.

Following some pretty great recipes - thank yous go out to Catherine! (cornbread was a hit - who doesn't love butter, sour cream and jiffy??) Paula (Deen) and Martha (Stewart) or as my dear mother said "just like Margaret Stewart" - we managed to cook a feast for 18!
Ari, this is what you missed (Don't worry, we'll do a repeat at Xmas)

FOOD

Star of the show - Tryptophan

clockwise from the fork - cornbread, mashed potatoes, turkey, ham, stuffing, green bean casserole with homemade funions, caesar salad and grilled vegetables

last but not least dessert - pumpkin pie with whipped cream and a pound cake
Happy Belated Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!!
Fabulous, Janet!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Hong Kong!

Martha (Kramer)
And.. I'm jealous. Can't wait until Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, homemade funions.....
ReplyDeleteNot too late for me to say congrats! It looks like a smash. But a Paula Deen Recipe? Really? I bet it was healthier than the one I gave you! Haha!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for us to cook turkey together again.
