Thanksgiving isn't till Thursday, but since it's obviously not a holiday in Japan
and because there
is a 3 day wkend this weekend, we held our Turkey Day festivities early. Holidays aren't the biggest thing in the world for me, but Sandy has an unnaturally healthy obsession with the foodstuffs of Thanksgiving and Christmas, and cooks to the nines... so here we go.
First off. EVERY. DAMN. YEAR.
The Sound of Music. Sandy
must watch it. And I enable her by buying the special edition DVD. But see how happy she looks.
Mixing up the pumpkin pie. I'm a sweet potato guy myself, but I don't do the cooking.
Cooking up the turkey in our entirely too tiny oven.
Mmmmm.
The spread.
I might be going slightly crazy here.
The basics...
Sandy's more fancy.
And her second plate mashup.
Her pumpkin pie.
Here's the part where Sandy thinks it's funny to take flash photography when someone tries to go to bed. In fairness, she was drunk on turkey gravy at this point.
OMG!! That turkey looks turrr-ible!! LMAO! In all fairness though, since its mammoth 12 lbs self did blow out our fuse twice, I guess cooked & edible were the only two requirements for it. :)
ReplyDeletei'm SOOO sad! i KNEW i was going to be in thailand for the holidays and i forgot to pack the sound of music AND a xmas story AND while you were sleeping. the holidays won't be the same AT ALL... *sigh* i have love actually so i guess that will have to do. maybe they have copies at my dvd store...sniff sniff.
ReplyDeletebtw, is that creamed spinach? well done sandy.
Creamed spinach, indeed. All Sandy.
ReplyDelete[As for the movies, have you still not figured out torrents?]
What?! That's crazy! I totally have all three of those. And I've added When Harry Met Sally during the post-Christmas/pre-New Year's period. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, homemade creamed spinach (well the spinach was frozen, but yummy!!! )
