Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

November 17, 2010 By Lokness 4 Comments

There is one more week until Thanksgiving. I think it is time to get moving.

This will be my first Thanksgiving at home. For the first two years in the US, I didn’t really celebrate Thanksgiving. I didn’t know what Thanksgiving was, and I didn’t pay too much attention about it. I just used the long-weekend holiday to have some fun and relax. In my third year in the US, I went to a family friend’s house. I had my first turkey, and my first Thanksgiving meal. Even through the friends are Chinese, but the meal was nice. My fourth Thanksgiving was with Bryan. We were dating at the time. I went to his parents’ house. Bryan is Salvadorian, so they don’t have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Instead, they have lunch. I had a incredible turkey sandwich. That has to be one of the best sandwiches. And later, we went to Bryan’s friend’s family for a traditional American meal. In there, I had my first dry turkey, but I also discover my love with green bean casserole. Hahaha… Last few years, Bryan and I had our Thanksgiving lunches with Bryan’s family and dinners at a friend’s house.

This year, I will be hosting my very own Thanksgiving meal. My sister has just came to the US, so I finally have family in the country. And, we can celebrate Thanksgiving together. The dinner will just be Bryan, my sister and me, but I am still very excited. I have my menu all planned out. I have bought the turkey already. It is a 7-lb little turkey. And, I just finished organizing all the recipes, and writing down the shopping list.

Looking for a refreshing beverage this summer? Thi Looking for a refreshing beverage this summer? This Thai Iced Tea w/ Lime (Cha Ma Nao) can’t be more perfect. It’s made w/ the same tea mix like Thai iced tea, but without dairy & with lime juice. Seriously much better than Thai iced tea in my opinion! Light, little sour & little sweet!

While in Miami, I fulfilled my wish of eating a Cu While in Miami, I fulfilled my wish of eating a Cubano in the Sunshine State. I did a ton of researches to find the best Cubano in Miami. I ended up going to Sanguich (@sanguichdemiami) in Little Havana. Light Cuban bread, slow roasted pork, sweet ham, Swiss cheese, pickles & mustard. Perfectly pressed! Juicy, flavorful, & just amazing!

A totally unexpected trip to Miami. Didn’t find A totally unexpected trip to Miami. Didn’t find out until 36 hours before departure, Bryan had to fill in for a co-worker. Even though Bryan was busy at conference most of the time, we did get a quick glimpse of Ocean Drive in South Beach. Love the Art Deco architecture & colorful neon light. Very iconic!

Edinburgh, Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 C Edinburgh, Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Castle, seafood, royal vacation home, scone & haggis. Highly recommended! Even though it was drizzling almost the whole time we were there, it’s still gorgeous! Haggis was absolutely delicious. If you don’t know what it’s made of, it really tasted like flavorful ground meat w/ little chewy texture from the oatmeal. We loved it! Next time, I would like to check out Loch Ness too!😉
