Yeah, yeah I know thanksgiving should have Turkey,stuffing, gragy......and blah blah but since I spend our turkey budget on new kitchenware so until next year, no Turkey for the Hills. Instead, I cooked Hot Dog, Mac & Cheese, Cole Slaw, and brownies.
For our hot dogs Mr. Hill asked me to use our new grill pan for the job, it turned out pretty good. We love it, because we cant stop grill things! We even grilled the bun on it :P As you can see Mr. Hill is a simple guy, ketchup and mustard only. For me I have to go all out, so I add home-made relish and some chopped onions.
Our 2nd course is Mac & Cheese. I didn't really like the cheese sauce I made this time, because it has a little powder look to it. I don't know if I didn't melt the cheese all the way...or there's certain type of cheese they do not go together? Guess next time I have to try work with different type of cheese. However the taste for my Mac & cheese is fine. Golden brown on top and not dry in the middle. :)
To go with it I made some pink slaw~ I called it Pink Slaw because I add lots of carrots and it actually look more pink than white. It was my first time trying to make it and I am glad I tried. On a side note, I found out that Chinese Rice Vinegar works just fine for making the slaw. :P Who needs those fancy Apple Cider Vinegar or Red Wine Vinegar.
Our Drink of the night was the extra Sobe -Energy I stored awayfrom our previous shopping trip. Mr. Hill thought I was going to drink it when he is not home. *tisk tisk* He didn't know that Mrs. Hill plans ahead. I was totally saving the drink for the special day, not that I forgot to drink it, but I "saved on purpose" *cough*cough*
As for our princess Dorayaki, she was trying to get on the table and take a bite or two of the food I made, but was caught by me! Such an evil baby...trying to sneak in while we were busy taking pictures of the food.
For dessert, I made some Dark chocolate brownies. I went all out again by using Godiva chocolate powder XD This is one very expensive brownies.
This concluded the Thanksgiving Dinner at the Hill's. Sure~ we are one weird couple who didn't have turkey on the day. But who cares~ XD
