Onto my second big girl Thanksgiving meal =)

DSC_1474

It has been a crazy week!! Hosting a dinner party and working on dessert orders simultaneously in the same week was quite exhausting. I am so glad that it is over! Well, at least for now. So here is a recap of what I cooked for my guests on Thanksgiving. I am so proud that I roasted my very 1st turkey! I must say it was juicy and plump though I need to try a different stuffing. I stuffed it with herb butter, veggies, chestnut, lemon and thyme. It was good but not great! I am thinking of fried rice stuffing, what do you think?

Anyways, I hope that you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving like I did (minus the chaos of course) ;)

天呀﹐阿Vi快瘋了﹗我不該在感恩節這周host聚餐的同時接甜點訂單的﹐真是高估了自己的工作能力﹗還是咬著牙走過來了﹐很慶幸。今年是我第二次負責煮感恩節大餐﹐以下就是當天的菜單﹐還有就是跟大家炫耀一下這個火雞。這還是我第一次烤火雞﹐飽滿多汁又嫩超得意的。嘿嘿。。。不過需要改進一下塞火雞的餡料。不難吃但沒有一吃難忘的味道。明年想做一個炒飯餡,你們覺得怎麼樣呢?

Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. Dear Vi,

    Congratulations on your success! I love your amazing Thanksgiving dishes!

    Fried rice (wild rice perhaps?) stuffing is a brilliant idea, your ingredients of herb butter, veggies, chestnut, lemon and thyme 仍然派上用場! I know that by this time of next year, I'll get to see your beautiful (and delicious) creation again! Cheers! :)

  2. I made several components of your mousse cake this past weekend for my pumpkin mousse cake. Thanks for the detail instructions, without it I don't think my cake will turn out as well as it did. Making entremets is no joke and I have high praise for someone like you who can make these fabulous desserts.

  4. Your stuffing sounds really good and your post simply gorgeous...
    My uncle (from Shanghai, China) makes his special stuffing with sticky rice, chestnut, shitake mushroom, Cantonese sausage, lotus seeds, shredded carrots and peanuts. We always finish it much earlier than the turkey!
