Thanksgiving

I almost forgot about Thanks- giving, being here where it is not a national holiday. But Kaarli reminded me of it in an email, so we ended up celebrating. I even bought a turkey, but had no clue how to cook it. Thankfully, I talked to Margie, and she set me straight. Then I talked to my dad about the stuffing, so I got all the tips I needed. It did kind of gross me out to stuff it, but at least I didn't have to clean all the organs out of it. :)


Here is our turkey! I did sew it up, but it came apart while it was cooking. The one leg was kind of funny, so it looked really weird, but it tasted great. It was kind of small because they were pretty expensive.


We had Peter and Margaret over because they celebrated a few Thanks- givings while they spent time in the states. We had Bonnette over because, well, she's Bonnette, and she's become a great friend here! Bonnette made pumpkin pie, because I hate it, so I was not about to make it for anyone. I made one of my favorite pies, a recipe I got from Rosalie, cholocate chip cookie pie. Yum!


Also, we had Leah and Symon join us, because Leah's an American, and Symon is her Kiwi fiance. I met Leah through Laura, our old neighbor and friend. They knew each other in Seattle. It is a small world!
