I went back to the Puget Sound to spend time with my family over Thanksgiving. It was great to see everyone, even my dad who usually doesn’t leave the house very often in his old age. My oldest sister and her family were having their own Thanksgiving in Tacoma so I wasn’t able to see them, but there were so many others I was glad and fortunate to spend time with this holiday. Everyone else (which included 5 of my siblings and too many nieces and nephews) met up at the second oldest siblings house in our hometown. We and an amazing time catching up, telling stories, playing games, and generally teasing each other and having a good laugh. There was TOO much food, but here are some of the pics I was able to snap before I literally drank myself to sleep, LOL!
Pancit.
Acorn squash with stuffing.
Mashed sweet potatoes topped with maple-glazed nuts.
Fresh fried lumpia.
Roasted duck and lechon (roasted pork).
Crab foo yung.
Turon (dessert lumpia with banana and jackfruit).
And WAY too much wine!!!
Vittle Monster 
AMAZING!!!! 🙂
YUM! Everything looks delicious! Glad you had fun.
Family is always fun! 🙂
Wow! That dinner looks fantastic! It reminds me of dinners that would be served here in Hawaii. Lots of local dishes that make the meal extra special.
Definitely! I eat out a lot, but family cooking is always awesome!
Everything looks so good, but I am interested in the Pancit. Can you direct me to a good recipe?
Everything looks delicious! I’m glad you had such a good time 🙂
Thanks! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too!
Vincente – WOW. I should take pictures next year. Great idea and great photos. I love the look of the Crab foo yung. Happy holiday, belated. – Shanna
My mommy made the crab foo young amongst other things. 🙂
You are a lucky man, Vicente! 🙂
Love the traditional family dishes added to your thanksgiving! I especially want to gobble up that noodle dish. 🙂 Happy day to you and yours. x
Thanks for the visit! I’m digging your blog and that it covers everything you’re doing and eating! Can’t wait to see more.
Amen brother. Um, what’s lumpia?
It’s like a Filipino egg roll, usually filled with ground pork (or beef). My mom also adds more veggies to make them more substantial.
Nice
Never too much wine!
lol 🙂
AGREE!!! 😉
