Thanksgiving 2008 was a good time with really excellent food, but also caused me some stress believe it or not.
Kate, Alissa, and I (all Americans) planned a pretty large potluck Thanksgiving at the Blue House. Warren, our brave Hall Director (or Resident Supervisor if you’re in Germany), was a professional chef at one time and made two really good turkeys. We also had three kinds of dressing (I made vegetarian), corn, green beans, sweet potatoes, corn bread, rolls, salad, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, apple pie, and pumpkin pie (which Kate made from a pumpkin that she bought that morning at a farmers she and I went to together. It was fun preparing everything together and teaching people from India, Trinidad, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Pakistan, and several other countries about the good parts of American Thanksgiving. We even went around the table and said what we were thankful for.
I really missed Thanksgiving with my family in Kentucky because it is usually my holiday, but this was nice. My family and I talked via Skype web cam and I got to see all of them, but it wasn’t quite the same.
It was really good food though and good company so that’s what matters.
Love,
Elizabeth

Steffi and Alissa cooking something yummy!
Our prettily decorated table. I was sad I couldn't do placecards and menus here, but it would have been too much
There was so much good food it wouldn't fit on one plate!
Maria and Lyazzat enjoyed their first American Thanksgiving!
Mobashir and I happily enjoyed the great food!
