-written on Black Friday-
Thanksgiving slash Housewarming dinner at our house last night was a blast. We had family and friends come over and food became a problem -- it was way too good...way too much!
APPETIZERS: Italian Salami, different cheeses and crackers, Grapes, Prosciutto and capers, Nachos and baked Jalapeno Artichoke dip, and fresh Oysters.
SALAD: Potato Salad and Caesar Salad
MAIN DISH: Two Turkeys (because it was hubby's first time to use his Bronco rotiserrie for a turkey and wasn't sure how it would come out -- I ordered another one from Safeway!), stuffing, cranberry relish, gravy, Mashed potato, Sweet potatoes, mixed greens, Roast pork (because hubby insisted and ordered it with or without a party...like 5 million years ago), Wild rice, mushroom and spinach casserole...and here's the Filipino touch: someone brought Pancit (chowmein noodles) and Enpanada (meat pie)
DESSERT: Pumpkin pie, warm homemade apple pie (to die for!), vanilla ice cream
BEVERAGE: Red, Blush and White wines (a very special bottle that my sister accidentally opened for a quarter cup that she needed for .... gravy!)
Last night was fun. We all ended up taking turns playing Dance Revolution in my Wii.
Last night was all about family too. Warmed up the house real good.
Last night was truly something that a Thanksgiving is supposed to be. In the real sense of the word.
