Thanksgiving 2021

 Megha and Tanush, I am so incredibly Thankful this year. I have you both and daddy, a job, a home to live. Always remember, love, food, clothing and a roof over your head will all you will ever need to be happy. Always work hard so you can enjoy the fruits of the hard work. Covid has not been very easy on any of us and for the small joys that we can find, we will be thankful. 

Day started off quite well. I havent baked Turkey as the birds are always too big for our family but I baked a whole chicken, with your favorite seasoning. 

We also had steamed corn, mashed potatoes (with just butter, salt, milk and pepper), pumpkin pie, asparagus, pesto flavored rice, deviled eggs (just some dijon mustard and sour cream) and of course cranberry sauce.

Baking our family favorite chicken: 

Prep the marinade: 

1/2C oil, 

2 tbsp garam masala, 

1/2 tsp each (pepper, paprika, turmeric, chili powder, sugar)

1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste

2 tsp salt

3 tbsp lemon juice

Rub the chicken with the above marinade. Rest for 30 mins (min). Pre heat the oven to 400 F. Roast the chicken for 20 mins. Reduce the heat to 350. Continue cooking for another 40 mins. Remove from oven and rest for at least 10 mins before serving.

We also went for a walk :)
