Pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving
Pumpkin pie is one of the must have dishes for American Thanksgiving celebration, which falls on the last Thursday of November.
The women at the international spouses meeting had a little adventure with pie making this morning. Merilyn who organized the cook out had us met at the kitchen of a church. She prepared the store bought pie crust and filings. Everyone had great fun making and baking the pies.
I was late and missed the fun of making pumpkin pie with them, but was in time for pie eating. They had made extra pies and we were able to bring one home each!
Teresa shared the story of the first Thanksgiving, the pilgrims and their Native American friends. I learned something new about the history of America. :-)
We will be celebrating our thanksgiving with T’s parents at his uncle’s house. T’s aunt will cook the main dish and the turkey, but every household will bring a dish. T suggested I bring a non spicy Malaysian/Asian/Chinese dish. I haven’t decided what to bring to the lunch party. Most of the dishes I usually cook need to be eaten piping hot, and do not taste good when it’s cold, which are not so party friendly. Do you have any suggestions?
Cooked whatever u can managed n carry the same pan to ur in-laws n hv it heated up. I’m sure they wouldnt mind u doing that – afterall, u hv done all the hard work n they only hv to do that n enjoy the goodies :-)
I used to carry 300 sticks of home made (raw) satay to my in-laws to celebrate my hubby’s b-day n they were smacking their lips for more, after an initial apprehension, whenever they r getting asian food from me!
Good luck !
Leah: It went alright. I made pot stickers. My husband asked me not to make too many because he thought some people would not try and they would have other thanksgiving goodies to feast on. So I only brought about 30+ pot stickers. Ended up everybody wanted to try them and they were not enough to go around for 25 people. :-)
