Went over to Janetta's house this evening for my first official Thanksgiving dinner!
A classic Thanksgiving dinner with some delightfully unexpected dishes thrown in there to keep things interesting. It was a seriously epic feast, needless to say. I can't believe I never had Thanksgiving dinner before this. Thanks so much for having me, Janetta! (I am officially RSVP'ing for next year.) Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Roast turkey!

OMG, Janetta cooks so well! Can you ship her to Norway? She needs to open a restaurant here or something. I've never seen so many wonderful dishes in one place, together before.
ReplyDelete@Janetta: If you're reading this, Oslo needs you. Like right now :)
Haha, yeah, she cooks like a champ! :) You should celebrate Thanksgiving in Norway, just for the eating factor alone, lol.
DeleteAw, thanks Fieran!!
DeleteI'm coming over EVERY YEAR. Just letting you know. :D
DeleteYou just had your first Thanksgiving dinner? WHAT??
ReplyDeleteAnd that pie looks amazing! Apple pie a la mode might be my favourite dessert of all time.
I KNOW, RIGHT? About 25 years TOO LATE. I need to make up for all those years...
DeleteHaha, I think the pie was actually the only thing that was bought and not homemade. :P But it was DELICIOUS. I love pie more than cake for sure.
OMG, this almost makes me regret not having a turkey this year. (I'm drooling at mostly the side dishes.) I think this is the only way to do a turkey dinner - going all out! Glad you had such a great experience.
ReplyDeleteLiz, it was EPIC. I heard all these things about turkey being dry and shit but this one was PERFECT. Janetta basted that turkey GOOD.
DeleteI cannot wait until Christmas dinner. I don't even celebrate Christmas, but if it means eating like this, I'M GONNA START.
