The food

After the soup it is time to heat up all the side dishes and while Hoa is grilling the Kabob I am carving the turkey.  Ha brought the Ham and she already cut it into serving slices.

The protein table: Roasted Turkey, grilled lamb Kabobs, and honey Ham with home made cranberry sauce.

The side dishes buffet table with mixed salad, Home made mashed potatoes, honey roasted yam, sautéed mushrooms, stuffing, sautéed corn in butter, and Green beans casserole.

The turkey was a bit undercook but the breast was perfect (moist and juicy).  The things were a bit pink but we solve the problem by cooking a few minutes in the microwave and it came out perfect!

The Lamb kabobs were also a hit and they were perfectly grilled!

Nice family portrait of the Lang: Trung, Ludo, Lea, and Ha.

This year is the first time I only have 5 kids over for dinner.  Tiffany, Vu, and Tung did stop by for appetizers but we did not take a picture with them.

A few of them could not go home this year!

Notice Rocky trying to smell the food on the left!

Sample of a thanksgiving dinner plate!

This year we have Tuan, Maily, Minh, Loan, Ha, Trung, Jason and Nancy for dinner.

Desserts

Home made walnut bars, pumpkin pie from Costco (the best deal and it is actually pretty good), and chocolate mousse.

I also made a bunch of  Pear in puff pastry and French apple tartlets.

Happy Thanksgiving and until next year!
