Thanksgiving Dinner

We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving and having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with several of our friends tonight!!  As we were preparing by cleaning and setting up the food, we were quite concerned about whether or not our house would be big enough or if we would have enough food.  Fortunately, everything seemed to work out perfectly!  The dinner we ordered from a foreign market in Seoul came with a turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, and cheesecake (we opted for that over the pumpkin pie).  We also had rolls and I baked peanut butter cream cheese brownies and apple pie bars for some extra dessert.  Our friends brought drinks, sweet potato pie and a lot of fried chicken.  We had Americans and Koreans, adults and kids, and way more than enough food!  It was just like a real Thanksgiving with some great friends!!  Everything in our meal came precooked so we just used our oven, microwave, and crockpot to reheat everything back up.  We were worried at first when we saw the small size of the turkey but once Eric started carving it we realized we had A LOT of turkey meat.  Everything was delicious and the company was great too.  We are so thankful we had the opportunity to celebrate the holiday with some of our friends and continue to add to our memories of our time here!

 It only took him over an hour to carve that little bird.  He said no bone would be uncarved and he was right!!
