With no family in town this year for Thanksgiving (we usually go back to Texas), we celebrated with Weiru's family. This year, her husband Dave decided to go all out and planned an elaborate ten course meal. Just reading the menu made me hungry! What a memorable Thanksgiving! I wonder how they are going to top it next year!
Trung accidentally left a burner on on the stove, where my nice Pampered Chef deep dish pie plate was, so the heat broke it right in two. Guess I know what I will be getting for Christmas.
Dave and Thomas plating all the dishes
First course - escargot, fresh berries, and deviled quail eggs
Second course - butternut squash puree
Third course - tuna tartar atop wonton chips
Fourth course - marinated artichoke and mushrooms, olives, proscuitto wrapped cheese, and a breadstick
Fifth course - mushroom ravioli with pesto atop sauteed zucchini
Sixth course - lemon sorbet (palate cleanser)
The kids only joined us for the main "typical Thankgiving" course
The seventh course and menu selection card
Four kinds of cranberry sauce!
The gracious hosts
Eighth course - fresh fruit or salad
Ninth course - pumpkin or apple pie, flan, and homemade vanilla ice cream. I don't think the tenth course even happened because we were so stuffed.
The kids watched movies during our three hour eating experience, except for the thirty minutes when they stopped to eat.
