Thanksgiving 07, Dinner

We started Thanskgiving day with the favorite asian pastime...gambling. In between sessions of Hold'em, I helped with some of the food preparations. I was in charge of the stuffing, so prepped and finished in the morning.


Even though it looked like I have the chip lead (pictured above), Uncle Will took me out. I was left standing outside with a bottle of Stella and watching the Turkey in the deep fryer.


Like every year, we had enough food to feed an army. We had Apple cidar brined turkey, fried turkey, roast beef, baked ham, three different stuffings, mac and cheese, green beans, sweet potato casserole, roasted garlic mashed potatoes and much more.

After I finished my plates of food, I made, with the help of Pan and Yoshimi, a big pot of William Sonoma Hot Chocolate, topping each glass with a artisan Chocolate marshmallow. This was a big hit with the kids and went quick.


After all was finished eating, we took group pictures. Lots of group pictures.


After pictures we played some Guitar Hero, Uncle Paul gives Maya a lesson (Pictured above). Most the family then played Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. This is one of the best group games out for the Wii. Everyone had a great time. You can even use you Mii characters when playing.


The best part of Thanksgiving is the day after. Helen Agoo made Turkey Congee. Topped with a little white pepper, sliced green onions and a bit of sesame oil...heaven. Thanksgiving holiday is never complete without a pot of Turkey Congee.


Thanks to all our family and friends who made this the most fantastic Thanksgiving ever. Maya had a blast, surrounded by some many family and friends. She really liked the Ax4 (pictured above: Ashton, Ally, Maya, Anna Lily & Arden).
