"just like margaret stewart"

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!!!!!

  4. Not 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!

    I cannot wait for us to cook turkey together again.
