Dinner and dessert menus for Thanksgiving
Hey guys! As I continue this post from the last one, here were the menus for the night! Dinner was incredible! We had so much good food! My aunt and mom came out of the kitchen and gathered everybody. Dinner was served. We walked into the kitchen and the table was beautifully put together. Many dishes of food and desserts were lined up along the table. Our menu included three turkeys, a honey baked ham, white rice, black beans, fried plantains, avocado and tomato salad, break rolls, green beans, parmesan crisps, and "yuca con mojo." Yuca is a type of plant that is boiled and eaten with garlic sauce and pork. As you can see, we had QUITE the selection. Everything tasted great! What an authentic Cuban Thanksgiving! After stuffing ourselves, we ate dessert which included pumpkin flan, regular flan, bread pudding, and cake. I was in a food coma after we ate. The night was also full of many kinds of drinks including grandpa Pipo's famous mojitos! I must have had about five of those! He made pitcher after pitcher. What a wonderful celebration it was! The men left the table after dinner to go outside and smoke Cuban cigars while the women stayed inside and gossiped about EVERYTHING....again. Jokes were told, Cuban espresso coffee was made, and a game or two of dominos was played. We left my aunt and uncles house around one in the morning. I already can't wait for next year! I truly cannot stress how blessed I am- the people I love make my life worth living for.
