Thanksgiving with Brits?

With the weather and being so far from home, it didn't really feel like Thanksgiving this year; however, we did our best to continue the tradition.  Tim, Liz, Amy, and I (the Americans) put together a massive meal for our friends here.  Many of whom are British, so we had a few cheeky comments about what we are thankful for.  It was a full day ordeal running down turkeys and all the traditional fixings.  We purchased two frozen turkeys (below) for $60...not exactly the City Market bargain birds!  Amy and Liz hit up a fancy import shop where they found the rare items needed to complete the meal, but they paid the extra price. 

We managed to cram 13 people into our little apartment and used Tim's ping pong table for a dining table.  Everybody had a good time and enjoyed the meal.  The girls did an awesome job in preparing the meal and used all the best family recipes.  Overall a success even though it took a several hours to clean up and do the dishes:)

Fancy setting for a pong table!

Cheers!
