Happy Thanksgiving!

We've been pretty busy lately, but we've still had time to think about how much we miss all things American, especially food. Even though I don't eat turkey, I still have fond memories of crustless pumpkin pie (thanks Grandma!) and my dad's famous chocolate bread pudding. In years past, I have also had vegetarian Thanksgivings with friends with some pretty amazing food. Since we are recluses here in Korea, we don't have friends in our town to celebrate. We also didn't have any time off, since this is Korea, so we didn't have much time to cook anything. All said, I was pretty pumped to crank out some Thanksgivingish food for nostalgia sake.

I spent quite a bit of time preparing for our dinner for two. Things would have gone more smoothly and efficiently if we had more than two burners and an 8x8 toaster oven. Counter space would be nice too. I greatly miss my mini food processor, hand mixer, and baking pans too. Oh well, we made do and came up with a pretty fabulous dinner!

On the menu at Michael and Lisa's was: Tofu and Mushroom Pot Pies, Cranberry Pecan Stuffing, Garlic and Parmesan Mashed Potatoes, and Mini Pumpkin Pies.

We paired it with the finest French wine that Homeplus has to offer for less than $30 and sat down to a quiet 10:00 dinner.

We downloaded some Thanksgiving favorites for our eyes to indulge in:

We completed our night Skyping to family during their family dinners. It made us miss everyone all the more, but we're excited to be coming home in the not-so-distant future.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
