Bird for Thanksgiving, yes we had it when Sammy's dad and step mom came to visit last weekend. Well , we had a small one-chicken instead of turkey. Generally, they hosted Thanksgiving dinner the last Saturday before Thanksgiving in Atlanta.
Got up this morning and still did not totally make our mind what we would cook for this feast. We knew that Sammy would make lemon cake and a fish dinner of some kind. Our friend Marion will come over and have a dinner with us. I started playing with my flower to make an arrangement of some kind while Sammy worked on his cake. Then we thought that we should make lamb rib from our farm's market with Naked Chef recipe.
When Marion got our house around 1:00, we had not started the serious cooking yet. A cheese appetizer, some my aunt's home made sweet potato candy and nuts from China. Well my mom just dug out whatever we have to our guest. It is very Chinese hospitality. Finally, Sammy started to make one of his signature dish-Naked Chef Lamb rib. Since we did not have some of ingredients , he improvised and altered. By then, it was way beyond our original dinner time.
Well my mom told me that she cooked some baked tofu and hog tongue. I have not had that tongue for a long time. It is a delicacy in China. I did shred baked tofu and some cucumber for a cool dish. Then fried green bean. Finally I just concocted fish dish with basil, ginger, green onion, and parsley.
Finally dinner was ready to serve with beautifully set table by Sammy. Different food for the same Thanksgiving.

yum yum! let's go have seconds!
They are all gone.
I think that whatever you serve on Thanksgiving doesn't matter, just the fact that you are surrounded by people who mean a lot to you.
Sounds like this is exactly what you did!
