Dan R Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 How exciting it is to prepare for Thanksgiving, our first together. We will have turkey but not a full bird roast. I plan a meal that fits our tastes and the way we like to eat. So turkey this year will be in a stew flavored the way she likes. There will be baked sweet potato and pumpkin, cranberry relish and steamed vegetables (gai lan, broccoli and cauliflower). No desserts. This is the first year I haven't had all the trimmings my mother made. But this year is one full of new beginnings. So much to be thankful for. Only my fellow CFLers can really understand that So what is your Thanksgiving going to be? HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE From Dan & Ping Link to comment
Randy W Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks, guy. There's another thread on this, but we're going to barbeque our turkey! Happy Thanksgiving!! Link to comment
m-coon Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Unfortunately my wife had to delay her departure a week (to get matters settled before she can leave China) and she will miss Thanksgiving here with me.......... I am very sad about this, BUT we will certainly have a GRAND Christmas together - For which I am also very thankful!!! I have not even thought about our Christmas dinner but I certainly hope it will be a traditional Chinese meal. Whatever pleases her!!!Scott Link to comment
Trigg Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 We're gonna do it just like Mom used to do--by the way, mom was a really lousy cook! Link to comment

Robert S. Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Dan, thanks for the heartwarming post, the food sounds like it is going to be great. We are eating beef stew tomorrow, oddly enough. My wife does not like any kind of bird meat except gizzards. Link to comment

Jeikun Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I'll be at work, but the whole family is coming over. So this year DAD is cooking the turkey, I'm praying it comes out ok, this will be his first. Jun will be making a Chinese dish (chicken wings cooked in a sauce made primarily from coca-cola) to add to all the traditional dishes. Link to comment
Thomas Promise Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) My SO and I are still waiting for our interview. As we all know and have experienced it is a very SLOOOOOOW process. Yesterday I sent her a nice floral arrangement and a large fruit basket for our Thanks Giving Day. She was really surprised today when I talked to her of the gifts she recieved. She really looks foward on next years T-day here in our home in America and so do I. To borrow a saying from the old Brooklyn Dodgers "Wait Till Next Year and yez ain't seen nothin yet!" My Daughter has invited me to her home this year for Dinner and I am really looking foward to it. This is her 1st try at Thanks Giving Dinner today and I am sure she will pull it off A-OK.I am very Thankful also for Having Li, my family and all the blessings I have recieved through my life. HAPPY THANKS GIVING TO ALL!!! Tom Edited November 24, 2005 by Thomas Promise (see edit history) Link to comment
