I took a stroll through my in laws’ beautiful, thriving, highly productive edible garden this morning. A ruby throated hummingbird pulsated happily in my ear. After a yummy breakfast of turkey omelette, Tim and Ma harvested bananas

So much fun!

So many yummy dishes for Thanksgiving this year, which was also my first year with the in laws.  Tim fried a turkey, I made pies, and everyone brought something yummy to the table. I’ve never had such a stuffed Thanksgiving, thanks to the new pregnancy I couldn’t even get through my first plate.

 

Chibi and Asuka being their cute selves

We went to the Mountain View farmers market to buy all the fresh ingredients for the Thanksgiving pies (pumpkin/kabocha, apple, sweet potato, and pecan/walnut). There was such a bounty of fresh produce!

 

Yummy cheese enchiladas for dinner tonight

Getting ready for Thanksgiving with mom by making a couple batches of fresh cranberry relish. Yum!

Tonight hubby made crab and asparagus soup, pan fried and roasted chicken thighs with a curry coconut sauce, roasted pea sprouts, and Bali fried rice with shiitake mushrooms and sweet Chinese sausage. The coconut and spices were our Balinese honeymoon contraband. Grapes for dessert

So far pregnancy has been very yummy, thanks to my husband’s home cooked meals and our dim sum outing. I’m still getting used to all the rules (super sad sashimi’s out, relieved that shrimp is okay), but I’m getting the hang of it.
