2015年11月26日星期四感恩节，今天我跟亲戚五人一起吃火鸡大餐，由于第一次吃到脆皮嫩肉的火鸡腿(我喜欢黑肉多过白肉)，所以心里美滋滋的。

 

      

       那些平时难得一碰且充满了传统色彩的感恩节餐点完美组合，令人感到丰收和吃饱的喜悦。

 

      

       Oven Roasted Turkey / 烤火鸡

      

       Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potatoes / 加拿大育空金蒜土豆泥

       火鸡的配料及调味品：红莓苔子果酱(蔓越橘酱)


      

       Turkey Gravy / 火鸡肉汁

       Maple Peach Glazed Ham / 火腿

      

       还有美国流行的感恩小菜：烘烤法式洋葱四季豆 (Green Bean Casserole)。据记载当年卡特总统把自家感恩节菜单上的豌豆(Pea)换作四季豆(String Bean)。

 

 

       这是诱人的烤棉花糖甜薯：

      

       咖啡、汽水、茶外，甜点则有应景的苹果派、南瓜派(Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie)。

 

      

       席间，有ABC(在美国出生的华裔后代)述说她小时候过感恩节的奇葩经历。

      

       每年她都忍不住要好奇地问自己的父母：为什么我们家的火鸡比别人家的小?!

       母亲解释道：因为我们家只有三个人啊……        

       等到这个ABC长大以后，她才了解做为第一代移民的母亲对火鸡的接受度不高，过感恩节弄一只肉鸡“蒙混过关”是为了“成全”在她这个在美国土生土长的孩子。      

 

 

      

       同样是在这家景观餐厅：Vic 's New American Cuisine，偶尔我也受邀跟朋友来此用餐。

 

      

       德利卡贵族337赤霞珠干红葡萄酒 Noble Vines 337 Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon

 

 

  

   $26 Fish and Chips

  

   $24 Flat Iron

  

   $27 Rack-of-Lamb
   $22 Chicken

   $25 Short Rib
   $18 Spaghetti & Meatball

   Hello from Singapore... Work here progress pretty slow. We do a lot of standing around and wait. It is very rainy here and the high temperature is about 90 degree. So we did a lot of sweating too. I have not workout at all, only a lot of eating and drinking beers. Maybe I have put on some weight. Are you guys still working out regularly?

   No celebration of Thanksgiving here, wish you all have a good turkey day!
