Early Thanksgiving

These two weeks had been travelling to one place to another. It was our friends' wedding and it was held in two different places. One was in Oklahoma where they reside and the other was in Kansas City where her family is. We went to Oklahoma last weekend and just over this weekend we were at Kansas for the for big wedding dinner. It was exhilarating but it was also very tiring! In a way, I'm glad it's over.

This is also the friend who makes one great succulent, tender, and perfectly roasted turkey! I really mean it! I hate roasted turkeys at Thanksgiving coz the turkey ALWAYS turned up dry, flaky and really, not appetizing at all!! Eversince he found this recipe last year and made this wonderful roast bird, he has been "crowned" the official roast turkey host!! Which means that every year for Thanksgiving, he will be making his "famous" roast turkey!

However this year, he can't host Thanksgiving on the actual date since he would be having YET another wedding (his, of course)in his hometown, KL. So he decided that he will just have to host one earlier....what would be a better time than celebrating it in conjunction with his "first" wedding...:)

Seriously, check this bird out. Of course with the bird, there's always fixings! He had roasted garlic mashed potates (my fave!) WITH homemade gravy (WONDERFUL), asparagus wrapped with bacaon simmered in some Thai Chilli sauce (my husband's fave and our friend's original recipe), buns, green bean casserole, and bread pudding AND lots of wine!! I mean, loads!! I loved it!! Every thing was just wonderful, great food and most of all, great company! You can't beat that!



Just look at my greedy boy's face staring the turkey down and you know you did good!! Ethan's not very enthusiastic when it comes to meat but check out his bulging eyes on his gleeful face....he can't wait!!! He actually hopped into the chair on his own and waited for FOOD!!!



But my friend being the budding photographer that he is, decided that he want to set up his equippment to take the pppuuuuurrrrrrrfffeeeccctttt Thanksgiving picture. Ethan's remark on that...."NNNNOOOOWWWWWWWW......ON THE TABLE!!!!!!!!!!!" Oh yah...:)
