Fiesta Friday #354

Are you guys ready for Thanksgiving? Or maybe Zoomgiving (Zoom + Thanksgiving)?

The holiday parties are going to be different this year. My Thanksgiving will definitely be a small affair. Just me, the husband, and the kids. No other relatives or guests this year.

It may be less exciting because of that, but I sort of look forward to a relaxing time in the kitchen. Maybe this year will finally be the year I don’t have to roast a whole turkey. I have a love and hate relationship with the bird. I love eating it but hate having to prepare it for roasting. Such an unwieldy hunk of meat!


Maybe I can even get away with just making small appetizers and side dishes for the day and ordering pre-sliced roasted turkey. Hmm… the thought is very appealing. Hey, husband and kids… I have an idea… You think they’ll fall for it?

Anyway, here’s looking back at some of the past Thanksgiving turkeys that graced our table.

Happy Thanksgiving | FiestaFriday.net

Thanksgiving Turkey | FiestaFriday.net

Now, take a look at these:

Pecan Streusel Pumpkin Pie

“Pumpkin Pie aaand… Pecan Pie, combined! It’s like getting two pies in one pan, or in one bite. What more could you possibly want?!” — Angie

Apple Pie Taquitos

“I love the simplicity of these dessert taquitos. It’s a quick and easy way to fix your apple pie craving.” — Angie

Baked Pepper Jelly Brussels Sprouts

“This sounds very appealing to me. I imagine it must be slightly sweet and tangy, as well as bacon-ey – all the flavors that favor a vegetable like brussels sprouts. It’ll make a wonderful Thanksgiving side dish.” — Angie

Cinnamon Apples and Dip

“What an easy and healthy idea for a snack. So simple the little ones can probably put this together on their own. Also, it looks cute!” — Angie

    Those are are selection of beautiful turkeys Angie. And the garnishes are stunning. I may dig out an old post for this week’s link. I am just going to cook some thighs sous vide and make our regular raisin stuffing. I am glad you are able to get a rest for the holiday. Are you still doing in-person teaching?

      Thanks! We were still doing hybrid teaching (in person combined with remote) up until last Wednesday when 2 staff members and a student tested positive for COVID. Since then, 3 more have been categorized presumptive positive so we’re waiting for a final decision to shut down the school for 14 days. I’m thinking it’s inevitable at this point.

    Hi Angie! Just to wish you well for Thanksgiving. It’s 10 years since mine in Houston. And too many years since I’ve made and eaten greedily homemade pumpkin pies! Hoping you’re well.

      Sir Johnny! How have you been? Things aren’t going well anywhere, I realize, but none as bad as here in the US. Still, we manage. The hardest part is trying to stay sane with all the uncertainty. One thing for sure though is that there WILL be pumpkin pies at least. Thank goodness for pies! So great to hear from you. Can’t believe how long it’s been.

    We are looking positively forward to a small thanksgiving. Safe not sorry is the attitude! You know I have never made pumpkin pie so that’s exactly what I am going to do this thanksgiving 😁

      Homemade pumpkin pie is absolutely the best! I’m making something like a pumpkin pie, but with roasted kabocha squash instead. Hopefully it’ll turn out good. Enjoy your Thanksgiving, Zeba, small as it may be.
