We were not able to find a turkey this year at Costco, so we settled for 3 roast chickens, broccoli casserole, sweet potato casserole, potato casserole, salad, fruit salad, cranberry salad (Dad has to invent something every year - this year he found cranberries at E-mart and invented a recipe with them), bread, stuffing, apple pie, "pumpkin" pie, and peach pie. As you can see, we are not starving over here! Of course, there are some things we cannot get such as cranberry sauce (which explains why Dad was so excited to find some dried cranberries) and pumpkin pie filling. I used a squash instead of a pumpkin and it actually tasted really good. It must be my incredible baking talent! :) I made all of the pies and was quite proud of them so I made sure to get a picture.
We celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday because we have co-op on Thursday. Jay and Joo-yun, who work with the home schoolers at Global Mission Church and do our translating for us, joined us along with one other family from our high school co-op. We had a good time playing Uno and Scrabble with them as we tried to keep alive our Thanksgiving traditions.
Notice Dad's unique creation in the middle of the table
Aren't they beautiful? (The pies, of course! :) )
