Every Thanksgiving, our family celebrates this wonderful tradition with our friends with a chosen theme. This year we made a tropical feast.
The idea was originated from kamayan Filipino feast in which guests can eat unimaginable amounts of food off banana leaves at a communal table, without any utensils. However, due to the safety-related constraints, we used plastic and food-safe gloves throughout the dining.

Practices make things perfect.
While mom and I experimenting with different food recipes, we discovered new fusions by revolutionizing the traditional menu.
The day when the guests walked in, whiffs of savory aroma whetted their appetite. But before they gorging the ambrosial cuisine, the presumptuous presentation made them grovel. :p
After the full course of the all-you-can-eat meal, we played charades game and watched a movie. In this turbulent time, many unpredictable events could lead to crestfallen. Still, I am grateful for sharing this moment with my family and close friends.
