Thanksgiving Feast

Thanksgiving celebration without a turkey? Yeah! This was an Asian-style thanksgiving with yummy sushi! Oh well, sushi was one of the many dishes we prepared for the big feast! There were mostly finger food:

Pork ribs with barbecue sauce.

Pork ribs were marinated overnight with barbecue sauce and kept in the refrigerator. Bake them the next day in the preheated oven at 400 F till cooked (about 40-45 minutes). It's as easy as ABC!

Chicken wings and home-baked fries.

Half of the chicken wings were marinated with ginger sesame sauce and the rest with teriyaki sauce. Together with the pork ribs, they were kept in the refrigerator overnight. Bake them in preheated oven at 400F.

Home-baked fries

Ingredients:

6 medium potatoes

1 tsp red chili powder

2 tsp dried basil

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp white pepper

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into long stripes.

2. Place potato stripes in a large mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl and mix well.

3. Spread the potato stripes on a greased cookie sheet with aluminum foil.

4. Cook them in a preheated oven at 400 F until cooked (about 45 minutes).

5. Serve while hot!

*Hint: Fries are best served with mayonnaise + ketchup as dipping sauce.

The cream cheese blueberry pie from the Happy Baker!

The bountiful food left my stomach with no room to contain this yummy blueberry pie bought by Teck from the famous bakery store, Happy Baker. Located in the heart of downtown Fredericton, it sells fresh and delicious pastries, cakes, breads (you name it) and I just love to be there!

I had to take a two-hour break before indulging into the yummy pie. Smart choice, Teck! Fresh blueberries on soft custard and tasty pie shell, yumm....

Gingerbread loaf from my Lab Manager, Tracy.

I shared this gingerbread loaf on Thanksgiving day with two of my roommates. Apparently, gingerbread is best served with whipping cream. We had it plain and it was tasteful with a strong aroma of spices just the way it was!
