edpaffjr.comWe had our first Thanksgiving dinner over the weekend. A good friend of ours will be leaving the country for work before Thanksgiving arrives, and she wanted to have a great American meal before she left. This group of friends are all quite the cooks, so I had to prepare a couple of my favorite recipes for the occasion. The first are these wonderful garlic mashed potatoes. I’ve been making them for years, and I don’t think there are any better mashed potatoes out there anywhere. I also made a large batch of stir fried asparagus. I followed both receipes closely, except for I heated the teriyaki sauce for the asparagus until it thickened and was much more like a glaze.
Just as I was posting this, I remember that today is the Thanksgiving potluck at work. So I am actually having my second Thanksgiving meal of the season right now.
