This is my other comfort food: beef or chicken in sweet and sour (tomato) sauce with pineapple, bamboo shoots, peppers, carrots and celery. I added sweet chili sauce and paprika in this time.

Adapted from MyRecipes.com. Great filling for crepe.

Adapted from Waitrose.com. Great for quick dinner. Very tasty. Kedgeree is often thought to be an Indian dish, but it was introduced to India by Scottish soldiers serving there.

Ok, I love traditions but bake one of them 3-5 hours is not easy. But Thanksgiving is a day of family gatherings. And Turkey Day.

So, these are my main dishes. In 2005, it was a “young turkey breast” from PathMark. It was my first Thanksgiving turkey and I was very proud.

In 2006, it was a turkey with stuffing, which (stuffing, not turkey) we didn’t like. Since then I have not stuffed turkey.

In 2007, I cooked bird in traditional style – rosemary,  sage, black pepper and butter.

In 2008, it was a juicy turkey with cider glaze. And I finally decorated it.

This year I would like to try Roast Turkey with Wild Mushroom Gravy. Or something else. My in-lows are a little bit conservative about food, so I try not to  experiment much.
