Thanksgiving!

Flat 21 of Mary Chapman Court did not mess around with Thanksgiving this year! We had a wonderful dinner with 11 people last night. Nationalities included American, British, Kazakhstani, Thai, and Bangladeshi. Food included a whole turkey (which was cooked brilliantly by the lovely Audrey), mashed potatoes, au gratin potatoes, mac and cheese, asparagus, rolls, turkey gravy, "cranberry sauce" (Norwich ran out of cranberries. Sowe hadcraiisins with apples and blackberries. But it tasted quite similar and went over very well!), pumpkin pie, stuffing, and chocolate caramel bars, almost all of which were homemade.
We had a ton of fun. A group of people from very different cultures who don't really know each other is always a bit nerve-wracking, but it went over brilliantly. All was fun and laughter, and it was really fun to introduce our foreign friends to the insanity of Turkey Day!

  1. DId you have any left-overs? Did you explain to guests that these are the best part?
    Glad to see that you had such a good time and a successful holiday.

  2. I almost forgot. You don't list any vegies! Green Bean Casserole was the most googled recipe this year. I know that it has not been part of your family tradition, but it is a very American dish!
