this year was held a little later than the US thanksgiving just coz i needed time to breathe after november's festivities. so i picked the 1st dec... just before people start leaving for their dec breaks. we had more family around this time compared to friends and even included some people at work.
this year's 8.1kg turkey was blessed as Edward (after edward pattinson, in the spirit of twilight and all) by G.
as with every year, it's always a mad rush to get the food out. so photos were forgotten and these were the scraps i found from awesome cousins and friends who knows the feeling of cooking over days :) i do have to say that my timings were an improvement from last year and the turkey was served only 15mins after the timing set for the invitation
as always, loads of alcohol consumed to ensure the food taste alot better than it is haha
this year's menu was:
i miss all my US friends during this season the most. if only we can teleport
