canyonwalkerSince we canceled our Thanksgiving travel plans (LJ link) we had Thanksgiving dinner at home for the first time in a long time. Here's our dinner last night:
merhawk and I aren't big on Thanksgiving tradition. That main dish in the middle is veal parmigiana. While not a traditional food it's definitely a comfort food— one that, until now, I've only enjoyed at restaurants. Tonight I made veal parmigiana from scratch!
Along with the veal we enjoyed home-made challah bread, a vegetable medley, and mashed potatoes. The veggies are part of a swap we did with another couple in the neighborhood. We sent them a loaf of bread (my MIL's recipe makes 3 loaves!) and half the cake; they sent us the veggies, stuffing, gravy, and 1-2 other things I don't particularly like so I don't remember what they're called. For dessert we had home-made pumpkin spice cake.
BTW, why am I a day late posting Thanksgiving dinner? It's because on Thanksgiving day I was still catching up on previous cooking— in this case, paneer tikka masala (LJ link). And I've still got more kitchen catch-up to do!
