We sat 31 people to dinner for Thanksgiving this year, which is rather a lot for us and a tremendous amount of fun (and a teeny weeny amount of stress). Thank goodness for Robert, Jim’s nephew, who came early and helped tremendously with the cooking. Together, we managed to feed everyone the following menu:
Thai pumpkin soup
Smoked organic turkey
Roasted organic turkey
Deep fried organic turkey
Honeybaked ham
Roasted shrimp with rosemary
Roast ducks (from Mark’s Duck House)
Stuffing (vegetarian and non-vegetarian)
Chili-bathed sweet potatoes
Dinner rolls
Rice
Kimchi
Gravy
Orange cranberry sauce
Red wine cranberry sauce
Roasted carrots
Mashed potatoes
Hashed Brussel sprouts with lemon
Chocolate pumpkin cheesecake
Blackberry pie
Apple pie
And the obligatory day-after-Thanksgiving sticky buns, of course…
As we do every Thanksgiving, we each express what we are thankful for this year. And so this year, I am incredibly thankful for our family and friends and their continued good health. I am especially thankful for Jim and the kids for making me happier and more blessed than I could have possibly imagined.
Happy Thanksgiving!
