Happy Thanksgiving! (2023)

Certainly the highlight of the holiday; Mommy (and Gabby) made a ‘pumpkin’ brownies and some ‘turkey’ cookies!

Everyone piled up and watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. 🙂

Even Sammy joined in to dance along with the performances!

Then a fun craft (per Gabby’s request) that was totally Mommy’s stroke of creative genius. Turkeys!

Finally, supper time! The main(s) were steak! (Tenderloin and Cauliflower)

We Made a (decent) Curry!

Our friend Kedar graciously wrote up his Curry Chicken recipe (thank you KP!) so that we could try it on our own. Let’s just say, it was obviously our first attempt at this kind of cooking, but not bad!

Here are (some) of the spices we used.
Prep! Garlic and Ginger.

This is where we started to remember to take pictures … HA

The chicken ready for the pressure cooker. The chickpeas starting too!

The whistle! And it smelled sooo good. (VIDEO)

Onions!
Sam showed up too!
Gabby moaned about the smell. Ha!
Starting the masala paste.
Spices for the paste!
The masala paste, before frying it. (I think it was supposed to be smoother.)
Frying the masala. (Almost to the finish line!)
The chicken coming out of the pressure cooker! Just falls apart. This thing is pure witchcraft.
Chicken, broth, and masala coming together!
First piece. Pretty good haha
Table!
Table set!

It was so much fun and really look forward to trying it again! Thanks so much to Kedar, especially for your patience!
