Thanksgiving

I don't really have a better picture of our thanksgiving food from my own camera but this shot taken from the ipod. I am still waiting for my friend to upload them on facebook. The most important this was i captured the turkey before my husband carve it. So thankful so this abundance of food.

What's Cooking?

My kitchen is busy since noon time. The morning was spent going to the supermarket for last minute ingredients and food shopping. I prefer going to the grocery early Thursday morning than Wednesday night, if i really have to make a second trip. Our supermarket is open up to 4pm today so it is another thing to be thankful of.

So, what's cooking in my kitchen? We are not going to have the Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year but my assignment is to bring some seafood. I am making glazed baked salmon, yellow rice and stir fry asparagus plus two trays of shrimp cocktail my husband ordered.

Hope everybody is enjoying their celebration of Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving

From my household to yours, Happy Thanksgiving To All!

Done Cooking

My kitchen is closed for the day. All cooked: white pasta, stuffed mushroom, spinach dip, mixed fruits, salad and pecan pie. I'm tired. I need to recharge because this will be a long night. See you later.

Kitchen Is Busy

My kitchen is the busiest place in the house right now. I bought big tin foil pans today for the food tomorrow. Thanksgiving is not going to be at my house this year but I am cooking. Right now you can smell the aroma of the lechon kawali which I started at the slow cooker late this afternoon. I prefer the slow cooker than boiling the meat to make it tender. When it's done i let it drain then freeze then cook it tomorrow. Some of the food are to be picked up from the restaurant around 4 pm Thursday but I still have to cook the shrimps and fish. Busy, busy, busy....

Party Games

It is almost 3:00 o’clock p.m. but I am only having my lunch right now. I was researching for some funny games for both young and old this coming Christmas party. This is my second year of doing this. Maybe they liked what I did last year so they requested me to do it again. It took me a while to finish the list because in between I answered sales calls for direct tv packages. Sometimes I get really tempted to switch to direct TV because of the deals they offer but I am not sure if directv dish is allowed in my building. I still have time to think about switching. My current contract expires at the end of the year.

So for my games, I added some new ones like the toothpick and lifesaver relay race, three legged race and the orange chin relay. The musical chair, stop dance and bring me are classic ones for the kids. Now this Christmas games are done, it is time to do my thanksgiving menu for Thursday.

Rainbow of pies

Guest post written by Paula Lewis

Any time someone needs a pie baked, it seems like they come to me to do it for them. I've been baking pies since I was big enough to reach our kitchen counter and oven handle and I love every minute of it. I just love the time that it takes to shape pie crust into a pie pan or tin and then make the wavy crust. Then the time for actually pouring in the filling is also pretty fun too. But then the part of scraping the filling mixing bowl clean is my favorite. I've always loved eating mixes and batters from the bowl.

I'm supposed to bring three pies to our family Thanksgiving dinner this year, so I went online to look for some fun different ideas and inspriation. That's when I saw some information about and chose to Get Clear Wireless Internet.

It suprises me how little attention people give their pie crust though. A filling can be the best thing ever, but if the crust is just so-so, then the pie won't live up to its potential.
