Since I am hundreds of miles away from my friends and family this Thanksgiving, I decided to share the tradition with 75 of my new friends. This was a huge effort, but in the end it came together beautifully . We split all the Americans into teams "mash team" "cran team" and were able to put together a fantastic dinner, all homemade I might add!
I made homemade pumpkin pie out of this guy. Of course this was after spending 20E on some other orange veggie I though was a pumpkin, which I later learned really wasn't edible. This amused my French friends of course...
homemade apple pie!
It was like an army base pealing all the potatoes
cranberry sauce

Yes Dad, my sweet potatoes are better & fatter than yours are!
Sarah & I rubbed, massaged, seasoned the daylights out of these babies & to think I was veggie last year??
I think the highlight for the Frenchies were the pies!
Traditionally, at home we go around the table & say what you're thankful for. Since we had 75 people and way too many languages, we made a "i'm thankful for..." wall.
The cooking crew
We also made a hand turkey wall. This was a bit confusing to the French/Spanish etc at first, but they grew to love it!
The dance party after. If i've learned one thing about all the other countries is that their celebrations always revolve around singing, dancing & drinking. I know we dance, but they take it seriously!
