SCRUMPTIOUS
As before, click on the image to see full credits. Journaling for this layout reads: Rodney and Zhar were the ultimate chefs du jour for Thanksgiving. They shopped for ingredients for dinner’s cream of pumpkin soup, spinach & artichoke appetizer, and walnut and grape salad. Rodney even looked to Martha Stewart for a recipe for garlic-mashed potatoes! All in all, this pair came up with fabulous, delicious, and utterly scrumptious additions to our memorable Thanksgiving dinner!

Here's the YUMMY cream of pumpkin soup made from SCRATCH by Zhar and Rod:
It kind of looks like Gerber food here, hehehe, but trust me when I say it was very very tasty! I wasn't able to take a photo of our Spinach and Artichoke Dip. We were oh-so-hungry when we started dinner (after much picture-taking), we just dug into the first dish that was served!
Here's Zhar's Walnut and Grape Salad:
Again, we weren't able to take a picture of the untouched salad, hehehe. This I think was Raine's, after running her fork through her salad in search of the frozen grapes. Yum!
And if we have SALAD, ie., GREEN stuff, there are some who would rather NOT eat it. Proof:
See how Ate Reese looks really pissed? We told her that she could NOT have a piece of turkey before the adults. That we were going to do the proper thing and eat our meal course by course. All the kids had the audacity to announce that they wanted to skip soup and salad altogether and start on the turkey! Hah! No such luck! We forced them to have at least a TASTE of everything.
This is Raine just eating the frozen grapes off of her plate. She may have squeezed a leaf or 2 in her mouth, but she was happy with the grapes and the walnuts, hehehe.
This one is THE classic I-hate-salad photo:

Yes, this is Rogan, just posing with his fake i-love-salad smile. After he had taken a few bites of his salad, he promptly threw up. Hahahahaha! Thank goodness he had the sense to take his water goblet, which was where he threw up his salad leaf. As in singular salad leaf. *roll eyes*Oh wait, I have a couple of photos with the Spinach and Artichoke dip. These are my girls enjoying the appetizer (er, when did they NOT enjoy the food? hehehe)
The main courses:Turkey a la some chef (sorry, I forgot). We paid P6,000 for this bird with all the trimmings. And can I just say how PERFECT it was! I only eat the breast, and even THAT was juicy! Sorry, photos are incomplete again; we forgot to take pics of the side dishes. The only thing that we all agreed we did NOT like was the stuffing. It was some gross sweet potato thing. Give us Tita San's stuffing any day! No comparison!
Here's Japa having the honor of carving the turkey because he was the oldest person present. The bird was about 16 pounds, I think.
Take note of Ranger.....looking ravenously at the turkey. Hehehe. With his mouth hanging open, to boot!The other main course, the Prime Rib:
Yes, Mom, we only had Melinda cook half of it. It was a bit on the salty side. So some of us requested rice to tone down the saltiness. The garlic-mashed potatoes were a yummy complement, though!Here's Ranger enjoying his Thanksgiving...um....corn:
And then the desserts!This is some cheesecake leftover from Boydee's party the night before:
Here are the staple desserts Brazo de Mercedes and Chocolate Cake:
And our Designer Cupcakes (yes, they were on the menu!)
And that should be it for this post!TTFN!
