I am craving noodles for my Thanksgiving meal. Vegan Filipino
pancit will scratch that itch. :)
I don't miss the ex boyfriend, but I do miss his
Filipino-American family. A giant bowl of pancit was a must at
any family feast along with a large platter of homemade lumpia.
I will make several substitutions (tofu instead of pork,
vegetable stock instead of chicken stock, garlic infused oil
instead of fresh garlic, extra green onion tops instead of
yellow onion, tamari sauce instead of soy sauce, and I am adding
oyster mushrooms). Simple and delicious!

Grandpa Mano always added a lot of ginger to his pancit.
Pancit, fish-head soup, and lumpia.
I remember making hundreds of lumpia for the Barrio Fiesta in
St. Paul years and years ago. Soo much good food, but those
lumpia were a lot of work!
Holidays at the paternal grandparents' house always had pancit.
We used to call it "glass worms" as a kid, since our family used
the bean threads, not rice noodles.
[/quote]
I love learning about other people's food traditions. Since I
don't care for noodles or pasta I might have liked your bean
threads for the pancit - which otherwise sounds delicious. And
lumpia also sounds very good but I can see that making a lot
would be a work. Not unlike my family only making Norwegien
lefse once a year.
In the part of Minnesota where I grew up there was also a fish
soup, including the head, known as Mojakka which was Finnish.
It was one of those things that turned up at holidays. My family
wasn't Finnish so I never had it but friends who were talked
about it like my family talked about lutefisk. One of these days
I'll try the Mojakka somewhere and will probably like it.
In the long run it all stems from people making use of whatever
ingredients were available. People from Scandinavian countries
ate a lot of fish just like people from the Phillipines or other
Asian countries.

Mikki, I thought about you today (since you've mentioned it in
years past) when one of my best friends was dreading having to
peel 5 pounds of potatoes next week to make lefse. Yes, she's
Norwegian. They all love it and making them used to be an annual
thing with her Mother, her sister, and her. Now her mother and
her sister are gone, so her niece (her sister's daughter) is
learning from her. And only once a year.

One of the early years when my sisters and SIL were going to get
together for some reason we all thought it was 9 lbs of potatoes
each. Not only is that a lot of potato peeling it's a lot of
lefse making too. We now all remember it's only 5 lbs each.
My Mom would be happy to know we are still at it. Her youngest
sister the only sibling left was with us this year.

Pancit and lumpia at the Chinese/Filipino side, lutefisk and
lefse on the Swedish side. We lucked out food-wise. Mormor's
neighbor always made these lovely sugar cookies for the
neighborhood kids, and Morfar's mother would (when she was still
able) make delicious rye bread, huge ginger cookies (too big to
be mere gingersnaps) and killer cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
Now DH and I feed the critters and have a cup of tea, maybe a
scone or a brownie if we're feeling decadent.

You got more variety from your family than I did. Swedish on one
side Norsk on the other.
I have my Swedish Grandma's Rye bread recipe. I'll have to try
it again I haven't for years and can't recall if I managed to
make it right or not. I used to make Swedish Brown Beans on
holidays because my Dad loved them. But it's hard to find the
beans. For a while grew my own from seeds an aunt gave me.
Didn't have her green thumb though and that was the end of the
beans.

Are they as sweet as pecan pie tends to be, or more nutty?

The pumpkin layer cheesecake is cooling. The pumpkin pie is
baking. The stock for turkey chowder this weekend is simmering.
The turkey is all cut up and just waiting for the oven. The
sweet potatoes for the casserole are baked and ready for
mashing. I usually shoot for removing the turkey from the oven
about 2 or 3 so I'm used to getting started early. But tomorrow
dinner will be later so I can start later.
Two potatoes, regular mashed and sweet potato casserole. Two
suffings, one with eggs and one without.
Mr makes the gravy.

This Thanksgiving will be smaller, just Jay and me, Older Son,
and stepdad Bob. Mom passed away in February and Younger Son is
stationed in Germany (but didn't usually make it home for this
holiday anyway).
I have TWO gluten-free apple pies in the oven, so we can have
some tonight, too.
We go for easy ready-made when it's yummy, so I won't have to
multi-task as much as many of you.
I have a large turkey breast to roast. Jay is in charge of the
mashed potatoes, and we'll make a small small batch of the green
bean casserole he loves (yes, canned green beans, soup, and
fried onions). Stovetop stuffing, which we all love, for the
guys. I've toasted and cubed some GF sandwich bread and will
attempt to improvise some GF stuffing on the stovetop. Last
year's attempt was very soggy, so I'm hoping the toasting will
make a better product. Prepared gravy, including a carton of GF
gravy for me.
Oh, and a yummy (currently frozen) GF ciabatta bread and
Hawaiian rolls for the others.
(No, there is absolutely no chance I'm going to try to whip up
some yummy yeasty rolls or bread that I will have to smell but
won't be able to eat.)
Vanilla ice cream and various whipped toppings for the pie, and
that should be it.
ETA: I forgot! I bought some yummy country ham when I was in
Virginia, so we'll have that, too.
