The petits fours caught my eye too. Being without Thanksgiving until I married an American, I never really gave some thought until I was served beaten old day dryer than dry turkey at his sister....and since it is not "my" holiday I have to wait until Chritmas to take my revenge!!! Then again, with both parents born in Morocco and both sets of grandparents stationed there during the war, a traditional Moroccan mutton/chicken/spicy sausage couscous was most likely to be served than turkey and chestnuts...! I guess one day I will cook a turkey but for right now I like to stick to capons, geese and ducks...and so far no comlaints from the husband! Congrats Jen! The petits fours caught my eye too.

You have a point there about turkeys and t-giving. I dunno! HB - Oh, good to know about the leaves since I would probably go and harvest something poisonous - ha! Wow, that dish sounds so amazing. Do you and Pierre celebrate t-giving in tradition or do you also buck tradition? Mandy – thanks so much. You have a point there about turkeys and t-giving. I dunno!

I forgot to mention the Kaffir Lime Leaves, Lemongrass and Galangal are also added to the Nam Prik Pao. Basically, it's a heartier version of Tom Yum Soup that everyone partakes in cooking. Jen,

It's a well deserved win. I will be cooking turkey for Thanksgiving simply because that's the one and only one occasion I feel like cooking it. :) congratulations Jen! It’s a well deserved win.
