FOUR: Cooking at Home

The weekend is the perfect time for cooking and eating, what better way to relax after a long week of school than with food? On Saturday night my sister and her friend Hannah (who was insistent on making one of my blogs) made dinner for all of us! Dinner consisted of wild mushroom tagliatelle, BBQ ribs and salad with a lemon poppy seed dressing.

So of course what would be Sunday without the delicious dinner! We ended up eating really late because we decided to cook a turkey, which didn’t end up in the oven until 7:00. So we ate around 9:00. My dad tried a new herbed butter sauce recipe from Saveurs Turkey Issue and it was delicious! Normally we do it Chinese style (With Soy, ginger and garlic) but this was a nice change. To complement the Turkey I made some brussel sprouts and my sister made mashed potatoes. This was the first traditional sunday meal in our new kitchen and believe me, they’ll be lots more coming along.
