I’m baaaack! Didn’t post for the last couple of days, as I was busy cooking. Our traditional Thanksgiving is typically untraditional… if it’s unusual and sophisticated enough to qualify as a “feast,” then we’ll give it a go.<\/p>\n

We opted for Indian food this year.\u00a0This\u00a0was Number-One-Son’s idea.\u00a0He came up with it while we were\u00a0dining\u00a0at an Indian restaurant\u00a0in Spokane last month… the food was decent, but I opined that I could probably do better. So naturally, he challenged me to do so. For Thanksgiving. John and Nick liked the idea, so I was on the hook.<\/p>\n

I ended up\u00a0tackling most of our favorite dishes:\u00a0Dal Makhani,\u00a0Chicken Korma, Tandoori Lamb Kebabs, Mushroom Matar, Aloo Chole, Saag Paneer, naan, steamed basmati rice and Kheer. And yes, it took two full days, as some items (like the paneer) had<\/em> to be made in advance,\u00a0while others (like the Kheer, dal and naan) could<\/em> be made in advance.<\/p>\n

Everything turned out great! I used these recipes:<\/p>\n
