Thanksgiving food and parade

[mtbc]

Thanksgiving was nice, R. kindly indulges me with her cooking. For dessert, the pecan pie seemed more popular than the pumpkin. On Friday, we finished up the savoury leftovers. We'll probably do something similar but smaller around Christmas when it is just me and R., other family being away in America and Asia then.

For watching the parade from here without paying, there is typically the option of various free streams (some clearly near each other) from random parts of the parade. I like to see the performances too so this year I took the option of simply finding some free not-NYC feeds that were well-positioned for their parade, e.g., I think we settled on Philly's in the end from some local station there.

Since there's just three of us, a whole turkey is not logistically practical. We were going to do salmon, but Covid smote us literally the day before, so I got a pre-prepared pork loin (just oven it to temperature) and we did that up along with roasted asparagus and some other veg that was quite good and very little effort required, which was important.

I think we'll do the salmon for xmas. Should start researching exactly what we want to do with it now! I know one application will be ginger-based.

I did recently indulge in some smoked salmon and plan to do so again this month. Yes, even with the kids here, we just got a crown rather than the whole bird, it's a lot. I'm glad you had a good backup meal!
