Two questions this month in celebration of Thanksgiving. We would love to know your answers to these questions too.
1. What does your Thanksgiving Day spread look like?
My husband and I alternate celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday every year between his family on the West Coast and mine on the East. With his family, our feast is wonderfully traditional with all of the expected sides and desserts. My family, being lead by my Japanese mom, is traditional as well as Asian inspired with sides like the most crispy, delicious egg rolls you could ever imagine, potato korokkes, gyoza and the very cliche but oh so true --fried rice. My mom also makes a pumpkin roll dessert that can't be beat.
2. In what Thanksgiving traditions does your family participate?
In my mind, I have numerous traditions to share but the truth is, my husband and I don't have any. Every year I vow to start and I have high hopes that this will be the year.
One of the traditions that my family and I have had for over twenty years revolves around food, of course. Every time we celebrate together, we have a mac n cheese bake off hoping to beat the elusive recipe we tried and lost about 24 years ago. My father is always the judge and he really loves that first "best" recipe because he refuses to give any other the nod of his approval.
Deb over at It's Always Something has the envious position of being able to visit the Rosegirl's Boutique. She did a pop over very recently and hauled some delicious smells.
LoLo Loves Scents melted a PERFECT 10 scent last week and we all know a 10 out of 10 wax tart does not come around often.... you might want to read about it so you don't miss out on this gem.
Sunnee at Fragrance Obsessed has had the pleasure of trying an up and coming new vendor with nice results. You have to see these gorgeous tarts; the shapes and colors are eye candy.
The Redolent Mermaid has started a new vendor interview series, see what great idea the owner of Vintage Chic Scents has come up with regarding the wax community.
Mac and cheese bake off! That is a tradition I can get on board with. I hope your thanksgiving feast this year is peaceful and full of love. Will the pups get to sample the turkey? Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDelete@Julie - I'm sure the pooches will sample the turkey. Hopefully the beagle won't pull it off the table this year.

Mac and cheese bake-off?? Uhhhh, I'll be spending thanksgiving at your house! :P What a cool concept! I love that you have Asian inspired dishes as well as traditional ones when you celebrate with your family. <3
ReplyDelete@Lauren - I love the Asian flavor added to our Thanksgiving too :)
