Roast turkey (thank you Alton Brown), cranberry sauce (thank you Gourmet), herbed oyster stuffing (thank you Gourmet), sour cream mashed potatoes (thank you Ina Garten), green beans with lemon and garlic (thank you Neeleys), pumpkin pie (thank you Bon Appetit, stir-fried spicy squid (thank you maangchi*), and kimchee!
Three random thoughts:
1) This was a lot of work for just the four of us;
2) Thank you very much mom for decades of cooking Thanksgiving dinner all by yourself;
3) The regular turkey and trimmings + Korean food tastes really, really good together. The gravy-laden starchiness went perfectly with the tanginess and spice of the kimchee and squid. I'm pretty sure this is not what the pilgrims were envisioning but whatevs.
P.S. Apey thinks turkey plus gravy is the cat's meow. The spicy squid, not so much.
*Maangchi is a youtube Korean cooking teacher.
