Thanksgiving 2009: In the Kitchen

A sneak-peek of kitchen shots from Thanksgiving dinner... Chef Fern was in charge of pretty much the whole meal. I was appointed desserts and of course, I gladly accepted the "appointing" :) Fern finished so many dishes in a matter of hours, making cooking look so simple and easy. I on the other hand, left lots of time for prepping and baking my two desserts, hehe. Observing him chop away at veggies, mix ingredients like no one's business and gladly presenting the final plates was a trip - a "real restaurant chef" cooking in my family's kitchen! Lucky for me, he is a good friend as well... Double wammy.

Before looking at the pics, keep in mind this is not your traditional Thanksgiving dinner - no turkey, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, etc. I like to think of it as a dinner with close friends and amazing family celebrating happiness, love, life and health; of what I am so very thankful for.
