Thanksgiving Meals

We often have many at our household:

Thursday Thanksgiving:

Tandoori Turkey  -- Yum.  15 lbs. Tandoori marinade.  Romankopf clay pot, @500 for ~2 hours.
Paneer Makhani, light on the paneer, to use as gravy -- 3yo ate like 3 pounds of this
Daal Makhani -- 13yo liked lots of this
Saag Paneer -- decent
Aloo Gobi, but with no aloo...used yams instead of potatos -- wife liked this a lot.

Store-bought Naan
Simple Basmati Rice

cinnamon-lemon cheesecake as the dessert that no one could eat from being too full.


Saturday family dinner with aunt's family, mom, grandma:

Enchiladas
Orange Buns (Like cinnamon rolls, but with orange...yum)
Rice, beans, corn
Quesadillas for the kids:
homemade guacamole + chips

1.5 Apple pies
1.5 pumpkin pies
1 pecan pie
1 german chocolate cake
2nd lemon-cinnamon cheesecake


our family likes desserts.

You somehow turned Thanksgiving into Indian Food?!

I'm not certain if I should be impressed or horrified. Either way, you can come cook for us any time you like. (but you knew that)
