Thanksgiving Celebration

While we are on the other side of the world, we decided that we would host a Thanksgiving Dinner for some friends. What was going to be a very small get together of some close friends ended up being a pretty big party of a mish mash of 25 people (most we knew, some we didn't). It was a fun time getting to know the new people and talking with our friends and I know that everyone left very full.

Turkey runs around $6USD a pound here, so we decided against getting a turkey and decided on having some chicken and beef, which is significantly cheaper then turkey. I made homemade stuffing (note that it is actually dressing since it was not stuffed into anything, there are just a lot of people that associate dressing with salad), and for my first time making it, it was very good.

Besides the turkey, we missed out on spending time with family and of course watching football, but even though those things were missed, we still had a good time.
