Thanksgiving



Thursday 23 November 2006

The aftermath of Thanksgiving dinner - a turkey carcass and a pile of dirty dishes.

I volunteered to help cook at a Thanksgiving dinner held for charity, all the proceeds going to help street kids. Ryan took some wonderful photos of the night (which should be appearing in the Buenos Aires Herald, the city's main English newspaper, on Saturday!) and I spent the night warming unbelievable amounts of mashed potatoes, sending out bowl after bowl of gravy and squash and stuffing. It was a huge success, and the food was excellent. Really, being away from my family, this was the best Thanksgiving I could ask for.

Funny, the picture looks like it came from Aunt Jeanne's kitchen before we started washing up. Your Aunt BArb was in charge of the potatoes this year- she'll be more than happy to relinquish the task when you guys come to dinner!

Happy Thanksgiving. It is nice to know that you could lend a hand so generously there.
