Thankgiving - Ham or Turkey?
Thanksgiving is coming and I am faced with a dilemma. Yi (my older sister) said that she want to bake a turkey for the family. The problem is, even with just a 8lb turkey, it's still too big for Yi, mom and I to consume. Dad can't make it to Houston this Christmas and Lucy has to work at Disney. So I am not so hot about the Turkey idea. Plus when I was in HEB shopping today, they have ham tasting session. It's honey roasted and it taste great! Mom says maybe we should consider having ham for this holiday. But the problem with the ham in HEB is also that it's too big, so mom says she will check out this place in Houston that's famous for ham to see if they sell smaller one. So if you guys have time, take a vote for me, Turkey (follow Thanksgiving tradition) or Ham :)

i know!!! so hard!! i am cooking for my mom, bro, and me only!
i am making a turkey breast. that's right- instead of buying a whole turkey, look for the turkey brst. it's considerably smaller, and if you go early enough or are lucky, you might be able to find something only 5-8lbs. i think the one i bought was like 6 lbs
ham is good too; i made that last yr for christmas. or... buy cornish hens. two years ago i baked cornish hens instead of turkey for my fam when they came to chicago. they are very tender.
okay, now i gotta go pick up some last minute supplies and go home and clean like a mother and start cooking!
AHHH... sleet! traffic! :(
Hmmm, I like the turkey breast idea a lot, also the cornish ham... maybe I will do that for Christmas :) thank you!
so what did you end up cooking??
what are you gonna do for new year's!??
well, I end up going to my uncle's for dinner, so that solve the problem :P As for new year, no plan yet, how about you?
