Happy Turkey Day!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

i came home to find my parents sunbathing Mrs Bear, our animatronic Christmas bear.

Turkey Day is my most favorite holiday! While I love chicken (so versatile!), beef (so delicious), and duck (so flavorful), turkey is my favorite type of meat because of the specialness I associate with it. Every year, my family has 2.5 Thanksgiving day meals... first a traditional meal (turkey! ham! stuffing! sweet potatos! brussel sprouts!) cooked by my aunt, then a Chinese-style potluck with my family friends, and finally a midnight snack of congee with leftover turkey juices and bits!

What are your Thanksgiving traditions? And what do you do with all the leftover turkey??

    That's not Mrs. Bear! He is a gentle"bear" from Scotland!

    Thanksgiving's my favorite holiday too! I love cooking up a storm and I enjoy the leftovers just as much.

    I just posted about what I did with my leftovers - made mantou! :)
