Since we have both Vietnamese heritage and American heritage in our family our Thanksgiving dinner reflects that. Tuan didn't grow up celebrating Thanksgiving (natch) so a special dinner is from my side. Before Daniel and I stopped eating gluten, I made these eggrolls (Tuan's Dad's recipe and method) often. Now they are a once a year treat for Tuan and Emma. I should make them more often but I hate even bringing gluten into the house.
(Not bad for only making them once a year, eh?)
Roast chicken, Mashed potatoes and gravy, crannberries and stuffing from my side.
Egg rolls and shrimp fried rice from Tuan's side. (If I knew how to make other of his dad's dishes I would - believe me I will learn as soon as I get the chance.)
Happy Thanksgiving!

I like how you integrate both heritages in your family. Last year we had borscht for Christmas Eve because it is a Ukrainian special soup. :o)
I'd LOVE to get the recipe for the eggrolls! Would you share or is it super secret!? jmccalvy at gmail.com :)
I'm so jealous! We still talk about T's dad's cooking-especially that wonderful week after your wedding reception when we "had" to help with the leftovers. Yum!
