Kara isa Saalabi, San Diego, CA... We are having a small group (12) of international guests this year who are going to experience Thanksgiving for the first time. They are quite intrigued and two of them being chefs, are anxious to sit down to a traditional American Thanksgiving meal. So, the pressure is on for us to create the most delectible TG meal in our history of TG cooking. This isa great opportunity for us to experiment and I have discovered a fantastic Mango-Cranberry Chutney recipe. Of course, the Bourbon-Pecan Pie and Mom's Indian Corn Pudding will be present. Anyway, I'll happily share with you any unique dishes we discover this TG in case anyone would like to try them out. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! - Kara isa Saalabi & the entire isa Saalabi clan
