There was no turkey to eat and no football to watch, but we still managed to throw together a nice little Thanksgiving. With the help of 3 Americans, 2 Canadians, 6 South Africans, and a Korean, we had a full feast and a great night.

Beenish and I (the official “hosts”) were worried we were going to be short on food, but since it was potluck style we ended up with quite the opposite problem. I also thought we were going to end up with no traditional foods, but the other Americans who came went all out and we had like a full Thanksgiving selection. The menu included… chicken, rice, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, Korean pizza, soy bean paste pastries, apple pie, coffee sponge cake, oreo pudding, and I’m sure even more that I’m forgetting. We also lit sparklers… starting a new little Thanksgiving tradition, and blew out candles on the cake.

Overall it was quite a bit different than the at-home version (aka no familiy…) but it was still a blast and I’d say the holiday was a definite success.
