2012年感恩节在我家(2012 Thanksgiving in our home)

(2013-04-05 12:47:30) 下一个
今年的感恩节和我家虎娃,虎妞的生日是一天。不完美的是虎娃和虎妞生病了,看他们不舒服我们也忙得不知所措。本想改天再过节,过生日,后来一想节日就是节日,还是动作快一些,一切从简!欢喜一场吧!
This year's Thanksgiving is happened the same day of our twins birthday. Two years ago, our twins came to see us. The same week of the Thanksgiving week. So, we call them the "Thanksgiving babies"! Unfortunately, our twins were sick that day. Two of us were taking care of two sick babies and was bit challenge. We though we could just celebrate another day. But, I couldn't help to miss this important date for our family. Let's simplify everything and celebrate!

 




感恩节菜单:Thanksgiving Menu:
桔子青菜色拉 Green Garden Salad with Orange
自家做 CRANBERRY 酱 Homemade Cranberry Sauce
焦糖烤甜南瓜 Roasted Squash with Brown sugar
烤红薯 Roast Yam
奶油晚餐面包 Homemade Buttery Dinner Rolls
烤火鸡 Roast Turkey

We planted different type of the squash this year. Let's just use them mix in with store bought pineapple and banana to make center piece of the table this year.
家里种的不同种南瓜,辣椒,和市场买来的菠萝,香蕉,变成了我家餐桌上的装饰。时间有限,餐桌上的装饰也从简。



桔子青菜色拉:Green Garden Salad with Oranges
家里菜园摘了一些生菜,chard,心里美萝卜,加了些市场买来的小番茄,桔子去皮,切肉,拌入意大利醋酱,很是简单,爽口。
Still can find some salad green and water melon radish in our garden this time of the year. Mixed in with cherry tomatoes (store bought) and oranges, plus home made Italian Vinaigrette. Salad is simple and satisfy.
 

再看一张, here is another picture.



自家做 CRANBERRY 酱: Homemade cranberry sauce

一包新鲜的 CRANBERRY,倒入厚底锅, 加一大勺水,加半杯蔗糖,煮沸关小火,汁煮至厚厚的即可。方入冰箱冷却。
Heat a heavy sauce pan, add 12 oz fresh cranberry, add 1Tbsp water, and half cup of cane sugar. Heat to boil and simmer for 10 minutes till thicken. Serve chilled.

小南瓜切开去籽,抹上奶油,撒上红糖,烤箱预热350度,放在烤盘上和地瓜一起烤。
Clean the squash, rub inside squash with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar. Preheat oven to 350F. Put the squash and yam in the plate and roast for 40 mins till they are tender. See below pictures.

烤红薯:Roast yam



奶油晚餐面包 Homemade buttery dinner rolls:
I have made this million times. You all know how to. No need to waste time here.





烤火鸡 Roast Turkey
这是我的烤火鸡。买的是新鲜的有机火鸡,我觉得烤的时间比冷冻的火鸡时间短一些。味道真是没比的。
Here is my turkey. We had a fresh organic turkey. The roasting process is shorter than frozen one. Taste is unbeatable. Everyone is falling love with it.











巧克力夹心生日蛋糕 Chocolate Cake with Ganache filling and frosting
这是我家虎妞的最爱,是她点的。很可惜照片找不到了。。。 This is our daughter's favorite. She requested it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the pictures any more....


下面是我的盘子里的东东:Below is in my plate...









Hope everyone had wonderful Thanksgiving. We sure did. Double the happiness!!!
希望每个家庭都度过了一个快乐的感恩节,我们的是“双喜”!!!
