Drum roll please
The Thanksgiving table in all of its glittering glory!
I also grabbed a bunch of pictures of the feast. My dad and I coordinated our oven timing pretty darn perfectly. This year I made: rolls, pumpkin s'more pie, hot buttered rum pie, kimchi mashed potatoes, thyme butternut squash and apple cider sangria. It was my first time ever baking pie and making pie dough from scratch and (luckily) it was a success. If you want any recipes, let me know and I'll gladly send them over. My dad roasted the turkey using an Alton Brown recipe and also made stuffing and a handful of Chinese dishes. Mom made cranberry salad and generally cleaned up after all of us. I was so darn tired after cooking all day Thursday that I didn't leave the house at all for any shopping hi jinks on Friday.
How about y'all? I hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family!
I love the turkeys! I also love those glitter circles {or really anything with glitter}, they would also look nice on a tree. It's great you cooked so much. I called it a day after making the cranberry sauce. It was really good though :)
ReplyDeleteYour table is gorgeous! I hope it was a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!! Those rolls looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love all the gold, too. I'm glad you decided to go with that color scheme. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the chandelier!!! Adorable paper turkey, and kimchi mashpotatoes & the rolls! Yumm :d
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table, rooth! We've never been able to make a pie with a decent crust, so I think it's pretty amazing you succeeded the first time out. You have a gift for baking. Did you like the butternut squash? I would like to see the recipe for the buttered rum pie. Does it include apples???
ReplyDeletePS - Cranberry sauce is supposed to have rings around it. lol
ReplyDeleteI've had some interesting cranberry creations over the years, but the canned stuff is still #1. Years of childhood programming made it a favorite.
DeleteHope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I love the pictures you took - especially the pie. Yum!
ReplyDeleteWe had two big meals on Thursday, and had to take naps throughout the day. I am still full from Thanksgiving dinner and don't know how I'm going to make it to the office tomorrow morning for work :p
Such a lovely table setting and the tea light candles. Look like you had a great Thanksgiving and that turkey looks yum. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLovely table setting and looks like you had a great Thanksgiving. I love that photo of your mom and dad.
ReplyDeleteAmazing food! Looks like you had a very successful celebration!
ReplyDeleteYuuuuuum.
ReplyDeleteCould you BE any more awesome? Seriously, you guys put in a mammoth effort, and everything looks delectable and pretty and awesomesauce.
I could go on but I shan't, lest I bore the bejesus out of you. Hee!
The hot buttered rum pie sounds LIKE HEAVEN, ZOMG.
Awesome!! Those food look so delicious most especially the pie!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish we celebrated Thanksgiving (although I don’t really need another excuse to totally gorge on delicious food). Loving the sound of all your recipes and that pie looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous celebration! And I love your sparkly circles. Growing up we had a chandelier, and my mom would hang Christmas balls from the branches. So festive! It's one thing I truly miss . . .
ReplyDeleteYour parents are the cutest! Glad you had such a great day :-)
ReplyDeleteAaaaaw....lovely pics, Rooth:) Your parents looked so happy, and how lucky are you that your first pie turned out great:)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so delicious! Love the glitter circles, too :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh your parents are adorable! Look at them posing with the turkey so proudly! Your table and decorations came out amazing, well done!! Don't know how you'll top yourself next year...
ReplyDeleteKimchi mashed potatoes sounds SO GOOD! I love your adorable paper turkeys!
ReplyDeleteYour parents are adorable and everything looks fantastic! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good! Would love a close up/how to of the what you did with the napkins...
ReplyDeleteokay, first of all i love kimchi and i love mashed potatoes but i would have never thought to put them together! i must know how this works . . .
ReplyDeletesecond, your parents have the most glorious smiles - it warms my heart. third your table looks lovely! so glad you had a happy thanksgiving xo

ReplyDeletehappy holidays!! xo
Your table setting and decoration looks great. Love the paper turkey! The food looks delicious too!
ReplyDeleteHow elegant looking it turned out - bravo! I have totally turned into Monica many times, even more during the holiday when stuff from storage is brought in and there is hardly any room to move about in our foyer with stacked boxes labeled "Xmas stuff'. I ended up shoving the boxes into the den + closing the door :) it's finally a bit back to normal. Happy post Thanksgiving!!! I ended up going to the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in NY (it was soooo much fun! pics on my blog), the zooming back home to cook. Have a GREAT day Rooth! Happy Holidays!!
ReplyDeleteReally? Pumpkin s'mores pie?
ReplyDeleteDrooling.
aw, they are so cute! it looked lovely. mine was full of wild children. nephews!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some family photos. Very sweet, Rooth! I like that you threw in some kimchi mashed potatoes and Chinese dishes. Makes perfect sense to me. We had sushi at our Thanksgiving feast. :)
ReplyDeletePS~Your glittery accents came out really nice and festive. Good job!
Every recipe, yes please. Love the table, love the food, love that you and your dad cook together (my dad and I do that too). Your pictures are beautiful, the table is stunning and I lovelovelove that shot of your mom and day. Fountain of youth, hello?
