In the kitchen...

This will be posted later but I thought I'd give you live updating of our Chinese adventure that is Thanksgiving lunch. 

Friday
10:30
I'm waiting on the bus to head out to Zion to start making a huge Thanksgiving lunch. 

2:07 
We have everything cut. The chicken is in the rice cooker as well as the free bean casserole. Complete with fried onion crunches. We'll start those later with the rice and the veggies. You see, we're jimmy rigging crockpots by using rice cookers like they were crockpots. We're out getting a late lunch now and when we get back I'll stirfry the cauliflower and hopefully Tony will have arrived with the butter and potatoes so we can start peeling and get the stuffing made. I'll check back in later. 

3:43
The chicken and green bean casserole has been started! Will check on it again later. 

4:38
Chicken check!! It looks and smells pretty darn good. Casserole looks odd and smells a little off but I'm holding out hope! 

6:21
Time to turn things off until tomorrow. Study soon, and I'm sure we'll get street food afterwards. 

11:34
Street food in abundance! And since the electricity went out at Zion we haven't had a tv because it got fried. (No such thing as surge protectors here). By never fear we have a projector! And a lot of white wall. 

Saturday 
7:25
I'm up........ No really. I'm up. We have to make the mashed potatoes. Fry up the cauliflower. Shred the chicken. And make sure everything is warm for lunch. 

9:28
I shredded the chicken and seasoned it well with lowrys salt. Then I fried the cauliflower and got the table ready for all the rice cookers. Now up stairs for the service. 

11:54
Everyone is eating and they love it. I'm eating and I love it too. Yum. 

Thanksgiving done. 

Until next time.
