Please excuse the typos in this post as I am busy eating my leftovers from the Annual Thanksgiving Ho Down. And boy do I mean Ho Down! My Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Doreen, Cousins - Elan, Morgan and Spencer always know how to do it up when it comes to food and entertaining guests. This is our second year going to my uncle's place in Napa. David and I switch off between SoCal (Takeguchi-side) and NoCal (Wong-side) for Thanksgiving. As you would have it, both families are very much into fine dining and companionship!
My Uncle and family make a to-die-for feast. You literally have to eat a lot leading up to the feast so as to expand your stomach, otherwise you'll leave there feeling like you'll burst. Some of their signature dishes are: My cousin Spencer's smoked duck, sticky fried rice stuffing, lamb, prime rib, roast beef, last couple of years they had Kobe!, curry chicken, sweet yams and of course turkey, mashed potato...and the desserts are nuts, they take up a full table all on their own. I've started my own tradition several years back where I would bring my own tupperware :) Now they provide tupperware and tinfoil to go! haah.
