Happy Turkey Day!

November 29, 2010 By Lokness Leave a Comment

It was an excellent Thanksgiving weekend. Bryan, my sister and I were so stuffed after two big meals.

For lunch, we were in my in-laws’ place. My in-laws are Salvadorans. They don’t do traditional American Thanksgiving. They have lunch gathering. My mother-in-law cooked her turkey in a tomato broth. Then, she put the turkey with bread, radish, cucumber, onion, and lettuce to make a sandwich. That sandwich was incredible! It is definitely one of the best sandwiches that I have in my life. I would never get tired of that! The turkey was so moist and flavorful.

After lunch, Bryan, my sister and I went home to cook dinner. It took about 4 hours. The meal was actually pretty good. When we opened the turkey package, I realized that we mistakenly bought the turkey breast. But I still cooked it like a normal turkey. The turkey came out ok. The meat was a bit rough and tough. As my dad would say, it is like eating an eraser. Other than the turkey, everything was good. The green bean casserole was the best.

Desserts were also great! My in-laws love the pumpkin cupcakes, and my father-in-law had 3 at once! The pumpkin gooey butter cake was gooey and tasty. Bryan loves that as always!

The Best Apple Crumble. The ultimate comforting de The Best Apple Crumble. The ultimate comforting dessert for the holidays. Tender apples, warm cinnamon, and a buttery crumble topping. Served with creamy ice cream, of course! I made this for my parents when they were in town. Since my mom isn’t a fan of cinnamon, I baked one without it, and honestly? Still absolutely delicious. With or without cinnamon, this crumble is a winner!

Apple Matcha Latte.🍎🍵 A cozy fall twist on the cla Apple Matcha Latte.🍎🍵 A cozy fall twist on the classic matcha drink. Creamy oat milk, homemade spiced apple syrup & smooth earthy matcha. I didn’t expect to love this combo as much as I do, but it totally works! If you’re a matcha lover, you have to give this one a try.

Apple Syrup. We went apple picking w/ my parents w Apple Syrup. We went apple picking w/ my parents while they were in town, and drinking fresh apple cider inspired me to make this syrup. It’s sweet, a little tart, mildly spiced, & bursting with concentrated apple flavor. Perfect for coffee, tea, cocktails, or mocktails! Even just w/ sparkling water for a crisp, refreshing apple soda. So simple, yet so good! 🍎

Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple picking soo Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple picking soon, but before that, let’s bake this Fresh Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It’s moist, perfectly sweet (but not too much!), & packed w/ fresh apples. Honestly, it doesn’t get more fall than this rustic, cozy dessert! 

Btw, still obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters! It was so touching seeing the interview & performance of Huntr/x on Jimmy Fallon.💜

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F (29˚C), but I’m already leaning into fall vibes. This soup starts with roasted kabocha squash & thyme, blended w/ onion, garlic, & chicken broth until silky smooth. Topped w/ crispy pancetta, a drizzle of cream, & fresh thyme. It’s layered w/ sweetness, umami, & creaminess. I’ve loved every sip, and I know I’ll be making it again (and again!) once the weather finally cools down. 🎃🍂

Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at The Shops at Santa Anita. It’s a cozy spot w/ only about 14 bar seats, but we’re thrilled they’re now on this side of town. This Japanese restaurant first opened in Torrance in 2017, & we’ve made the trek there a few times. Now? Way more convenient! 

Their claim to fame is the sliced beef don. A rice bowl piled high with tender roasted beef, drizzled w/ sweet soy sauce & creamy yogurt sauce, then crowned with a rich raw egg yolk. In my opinion, the yolk is non-negotiable. It adds extra flavors.

While you’re there, don’t skip the croquette. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, savory mashed potato center. Absolute comfort food.

Next time, I’m determined to try their omurice or curry… if I can resist ordering that beef bowl again.😅
