Happy Thanksgiving to you! Did you go see the Macy's parade today? I watched it on TV. I must be on medication or something. Hey, I detect some very mysterious dishes on your Thanksgiving table :-) I made a big feast today too.

happy festival lcl :D is it you whom prepare the meal :? that looks nice !
ReplyDeleteThank you Exile and Michelle. Happy holidays to you ladies too.
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't watch the parade not even on TV. The only year we went to a parade, more than 10 years ago, it was freezing cold and I came back sick for three days.
I did some good deed, which was extremely rare, with the kids. We went to a church early in the morning to pack meals for delivery for the less fortunate, though none of us are Christians or particularly religious. Cub scouts activity.
Then I got home to continue what I left off last night.
I prepared the turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy, string beans, mashed potato, asparagus and prosciutto, my wife did some fried fish, shrimps, a pumpkin pie, a cornbread and some mysterious vegetarian rolls. Actually I think turkey is the easiest dish. You popped it in the oven at 325 F for three hours, when the temp reads 172 then it's done. Easy.
except the big chicken, can you upload other more interesting pics of chick instead of turkey
ReplyDeleteGravy! I have made Thanksgiving dinner a million times and I never used the turkey fat for gravy. I don't know what got into me yesterday. I thought what the heck, it wasn't going to kill us, right? Wrong. I was sick for hours after dinner. how did you make your gravy? Oyster sauce? I know a lot of Chinese people do that!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you need a real turkey roasting pan.

Ha ha. I hope you feel better already.
ReplyDeleteI prepare the turkey stock first.
celery, onion, carrot and the innards of the turkey. Boil down to a quart, strain the broth for making the gravy later.
After the turkey is done resting, then time you make the base of the gravy.
In a small pot, melt some butter. After butter melted, add some flour and keep stirring, about 3 spoons or so, the French calls it the roux, I think R&E and Michelle know better. Then I add the goodies from the baking pan and the turkey stock, keep stirring while slowly adding everything. I think if you think the left over on the baking pan is too fatty perhaps you can skip that and just use the stock. My baking pan is just as good. I don't think I will buy a "real" baking pan, no way Jose.
No oyster sauce.

ReplyDeleteHa! One day you are going to DROP your precious turkey when you pull it out of the oven, then you will think of me!

exile: Are you putting a curse on my turkey? I will totally blame it on you if I ever drop it. If I drop it, I will just put it back and pretend nothing ever happened.
