Daily Q: What Was Your Thanksgiving Highlight?
Now that Thanksgiving, black Friday and likely a good fraction of the leftovers are behind us, let's have a little recap.
The standout at my table this year was a marvelous cranberry-and-pear cobbler brought by some distant relatives I hadn't met before. I never would have thought of that fruit combination before, but I'm tempted to bake one tonight.
What was the standout at your Thanksgiving table?

Mochi Duck.
This is a fairly rare dish; as it's made special-order only, and only a few chefs know how to make it. It's a de-boned duck stuffed with a fried Chinese sticky rice, roasted, battered and then deep-fried. So you have crispy fried batter, succulent duck skin and fat melting into duck meat and sticky rice in the center. Very good stuff.

When everybody went home :)
chocolate cake.. the icing on it was like cream cheese something or other. it was really good.
Discussing with my cousin how we are going to terrorize people when we're old ladies.
And the food was good too.
Green bean casserole. I made it with less milk this year, and it turned out a lot better. And yes, it's the kind that's on the back of the French's onions can. But whatever. :)
@BebstersBlog2@xanga - That is the most awesome thing ever. :)
Seeing my friend whom I have seen for 4.5 years!
@Morningstarrising@xanga - Oh yes, thanks. Wheelchair hit-and-run! And hitting on all the attractive male nurses in the nursing home. xD
And during a meal I want to yell, "Edward is a dope!" and see if I can start an old people food fight.
Food-wise: the fluffiest mashed potatoes I've ever had. I had my own vegan mashed potatoes made with soy creamer which sounds odd, but they were absolutely delicious!
pear-infused brie tartlets
Helping to serve the homeless.
pumpkin pie. home made i mean.
My first attempt at a home-made lasagna was delish! Everybody loved it!
Seeing my family. Unfortunately I didn't bother to go out to visit my friends... meh will do it later during the winter break.
when my 7 month old smashed the pumpkin pie in between her fingers
when I slept all day.
High Light = Cut up Butternut Squash... roasted with pumpkin pie spice - and sprinkled with parsley before serving! Honestly, THAT'S IT! It was so incredibly delicious!
the turkey was my standout because it was so good and juicy!
Cooking with my in-laws and introducing the tradition to my German family. :) They were skeptical about the menu but after dinner they could only say how yummy everything was. :D
THE PINEAPPLE GLAZED HAM... OHHH THAT WAS GOOD EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF PINEAPPLE BUT IT WORKED! IT BALANCED OUT THE SALTINESS WITH THE SWEETNESS O THE PINEAPPLE!
sleeping.
