Thanksgiving Recap

In my family we do an alternative Thanksgiving feast, but it’s a feast nonetheless. This year we had sushi.

I started with a little Groth wine.

We prepped the rice and the vegetables and made dumplings for nibbling on while waiting for the main course.

My mother rolled several rolls

and so did my boyfriend

I stopped being annoying with the camera long enough to make a crab salad roll, topped with masago, and a vegetarian vegetable roll.

All in all we made several nice rolls, but I think my vegetarian roll was the surprise hit. It had wasabi paste inside, toasted sesame seeds, red bell pepper, cream cheese, and carrots and cucumber. People always like crunch.

Crab salad, vegetable, california:

salmon and avocado, wasabi kick vegetable roll,

Philadelphia roll

Philadelphia topped with crab

 

My plate:

My mom and I like to use avocado, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, cream cheese, sesame seeds, and spicy things for vegetarian rolls. 

We also had cabbage and sesame seed salad

and sake

We ate it all!

Dessert was flaming pumpkin pie. A regular pumpkin pie, topped in sugared pecans, doused in whiskey…

then ignited

Until next year, flaming pie!
