Thanksgiving Dinner

November 27, 2012 By Lokness 6 Comments

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! My Thanksgiving meal turned out great! I was most excited about the dinner rolls. Since I have never made it before, it can really turned into a disaster. But at the end, they came out soft and delicious. The turkey legs were flavorful and moist after the brine. The angel food cake came out good as expected. The strawberry sauce definitely dressed up the whole cake. Pumpkin pie was fine, but the crust was a bit hard and dry. I will really need more practices to make the pie crust perfect. Overall, food was good, and I am happy that everyone had a good time.

Right now, I am trying to get better from the flu. Thanks to my sister who spread me her germs on Thanksgiving day. The good thing is that I didn’t start feeling sick until Sunday. Hope I will be back to normal before this weekend.

      Thank you Nic! I like pumpkin pie too, but not the traditional ones. The one that I made has cream cheese. Creamier. 🙂

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 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.😅
