Joelyn Khong: Authentic Thanksgiving Dinner

This was the first time in my life that i had a real authentic thanksgiving dinner and it was really awesome. I think that when i go back to singapore, i will want to have thanksgiving dinner on a yearly basis. Apparently, thanksgiving is a very big thing here is the US and every year during thanksgiving week, there will be holidays in school and work so that people can travel back to their homes. Thanksgiving is actually a day when u stop what u are doing in life and give thanks to those around u.

Actually i felt realli bad coz i was the one who asked auntie whether her family has the habit of celebrating thanksgiving with turkey and stuff. Then she said that sometimes they do and if we wan to have dinner together she will cook a bigger turkey for all of us. So, i was very excited and i told her that i realli want to learn how to bake a turkey so that i can actually bake it for my family. However, she baked it with her family the night before till like 4 am. It takes like 6 hours to bake the turkey and every 30 mins u need to pour the sauce over the turkey. In short its realli tideous to bake the turkey.

Im realli thankful to Kookkik's uncle's family. They have been so nice to host and provide us with a roof over our heads. And they even went the extra mile to prepare such a sumptous thanksgiving dinner for us. I realli like their family as they give me the love anf family warmth which i had missed so much.

Preparing for the dinner...

OOOOO Look at the food... We had mashed potatoe with home made sauce, stuffings (this was the best!), turkey, cranberry sauce to put on the turkey (the cranberry realli taste good with the turkey), some vegetable, sweet potato, ham, as well as pecan pie.

Auntie and Kashain. Kashain is auntie's younger son. He's 28 this year and he's a doctor specializing in chiropractice. Hee i think he's realli cute and very intelligent. He sat beside me during the dinner (heee muz be he thought i was cute too... hahahaha) and we chatted alot.
