This was our Thanksgiving turkey breast. It turned out pretty well, except that the package said a 4 1/2 pound turkey would take 2 1/2 hours, but ours took 4, probably because our oven is so tiny.
This is our little oven slow cooking our turkey like a champ. We started eating before the turkey was done (we had a small ham we warmed up in Rose's even smaller toaster oven), but the turkey was ready in time for seconds.

For dessert we had pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Very tasty.
After dinner we played Phase 10, and then some Mario Party on Ben's Wii. It was quite fun and we were all very thankful to have a chance to hang out together and be thankful for all we've been blessed with.
Yesterday, Rose and I tried going to the Museum of American History which just reopened after renovations. It was packed like a can of sardines, so we went to the Natural History Museum instead. It was still full, and we didn't have to wait in line for any of the exhibits (except for the butterfly room, which we saved for another day). We saw an exhibit on Ancient Western Culture, a small exhibit on Korean Americans, reptiles, bones, and insects. The bones exhibit was interesting because they had skeletons there of nearly every kind of living thing - swordfish, bears, turtles, rhinos. One interesting thing we learned is that a rhino's horn doesn't have a bony core but grows from the skin and is basically like a huge fingernail. A rhino's horn also never stops growing and will grow back if cut or broken off. So now you know, and as G.I. Joe taught me, knowing is half the battle.

i thought Rhino's horn was actually HAIR! But hair is made up of same stuff as nails anyway. That's completely weird. But then again, when Dad doesn't shave, he is completely dangerous. Ha!
We had a fab Thanksgiving but not complete coz you guys were not here. Looking forward to seeing you both soon.

Wow! You folks did the culinary thing quite proud. We did miss all of you, though. At Baba's we had room around the table for more people, but there weren't more people, so we felt rather depleted.
Ha ha! I saw my comment and I was like, "I didn't comment on this." I guess it was Mom.
Anyway, good job on Thanksgiving dinner. I still think your little turkey in your little oven is funny.
Aha! you may have found my blog Rose, but now I have found yours. muahhahaha.
Your thanksgiving looks fun. xoxo
