I apologize for not being able to update recently, the final stretch between Thanksgiving break and the end of the semester is a busy time. But since I’m procrastinating with finals, here was an update with Thanksgiving this year.

Here was the menu of the night:

• Honey-glazed ham
• Pear Gorgonzola Salad with Walnuts
• Deviled Eggs (since Jonathan doesn’t like mayo, I found a mayo-free recipe!)
• Pumpkin Mac-and-Cheese (compliments of our friends)
• Mashed sweet potatoes
• Scalloped Potatoes
• Asparagus Hollandaise
• Dessert: fresh pecan pie (compliments of our lovely friends again)

Cooking wasn’t that bad at all - we prepped around 4:30, was done with cooking around 6:30 since a lot of things called for the oven (always a relief!), and ate by 7:15pm. It was a pleasant, traditional Thanksgiving, considering last year when I took Jonathan out for dim sum for the first time for Thanksgiving brunch, haha.
