We had our practice Thanksgiving on the Day of the Dead this year, and we had so much fun painting our faces that I think we'll do it again next year! Makeup was on sale at the Halloween store at 50% off.
Mr. Brown made a bunch of new and interesting Thanksgiving dishes, including cornbread/wheat bread/chorizo stuffing, Thanksgiving lentils, taro pie, sweet potato bars, cumin lime honey mashed sweet potatoes and jerk turkey. Thumbs up to the stuffing, the lentils and the turkey sauce... the turkey itself cooked so quickly that he didn't get to sauce it. The jerk sauce itself turned out to be a beautiful thing and we have eaten it on many other dishes since. The taro pie was not really edible and the sweet potatoes were okay but not amazing.
The guests we had were not as adventurous as we were, but it was good to keep the tradition. And we enjoyed our food for sure!
I decorated the top of the sweet potato bars to honor the holiday!
