For starter, TGIST! (Thank God It’s Still Thursday), hehe!
Well, as the calendar says, today is da turkey day, happy gobble-gobble day, Happy Thanksgiving.
A day of full celebration and this year, the family is celebrating it also with fried turkey and sushi included in tonight’s menu :D
The day when every business is closed including department stores, restaurants and even T-mobile toll-free customer service let their employees to take a day off to be with their families (I happened to have the need to call them this afternoon to check on my “Easy-pay” payment option which I don’t think they do a good job on it. Gotta call them again tomorrow to check what’s going on)
On tonight’s Thanksgiving Dinner Menu, we had:
- Turkey (fried; 12 lbs)
- Stuffing (my favorite Thanksgiving meal; made from a mixture of shiitake mushroom, rosemary, celery added into a batter of whisked eggs with cream. Oven for about 1 hr, and after that, it’ll look just like a casserole. Love it! I really can eat stuffing any day lol.)
- Mashed potato (errr.. not my favorite, but I guess I just love rice and noodle more to satisfy my carbs hehe.)
- Smashed sweet potato (yummy~)
- Garden Salad (with two types of dressing - the traditional Indonesian dressing called “Rujak Penganten” and the usual Thousand Islands dressing)
- Sweet corn
- Cranberry sauce (I actually ate it this year haha. Been skipping it a lot from the past-something years) - this time we used both raspberry and cranberry as the base, along with green apple (small cubes), walnuts, orange-marmalade, sliced oranges. Add some sugar to taste, and also orange liquor (which happened to have an expiration date 12/27. Phew!)
- Dinner rolls (King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls)
- Sushi (lots and lots of them. Compliment of our very own Chef Chris from San Diego hehe… yeah he made it himself, thank you very much. Very deliz~)
- Pudding (vanilla-chocolate pudding, the traditional Indonesian milk pudding with its own ’sauce’, we call it ‘fla’ made from milk, sugar and corn starch)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I’m thankful to have this blog… a great place to brag around more about foods~ LOL!
