Thanksgiving 2011

It’s Thanksgiving! This means rounds and rounds of turkey, stuffing, gravy, roasted vegetables and pie. Well, that’s the traditional Thanksgiving feast. At my residence, we don’t always sit on the traditional side. And that’s what I love about it; we can pretty much keep whatever we want traditional and have anything else we feel like.

Since I was in charge of cooking dinner, I decided to make just a few instead of a slew of dishes. Plus the kitchen ain’t big enough for 2 cooks. This year, we had Turkey (with Stuffing of course), Mashed Yams with Roasted Garlic, and Rotini with Chicken and Scallops in Tomato and Cream Sauce. For dessert, I decided to make an easy one – Affogato with chopped Walnuts.

First time I’ve made/used Roasted Garlic at home. What took me so long, I’ll never know

Apologies for the lack of pictures. I don’t really like taking pictures while I’m working in the kitchen. I’m too focused on what I’m doing to snap images.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
