Thanksgiving in September

Saturday, September 24.

3 lbs to the goal!

Lunch at Taj Mahal: Lunch Buffet - It's been a while to have Indian Food. Taj Mahal seems pretty authentic and as a matter of fact, more than half of customers were not American. I ate too much!

Dinner: Thanksgiving Meal - These are not home made. They were frozen and all I needed is defrosting and baking in the oven. Why now? It was in freezer for a year. I wanted to get rid of them before real Thanksgiving coming. I am not sure if we are gonna have Turkey this year though.

Turkey, Stuffing, Green Beans, Sweet Potato - Actually it was better than I expected. I really liked stuffing made of corn bread! Is it Southern Style? I should ask my friend.
