Thanksgiving

Lets just say it was awesome. (the bottle was a rolling pin-i had Fanta)

• 8.5 kilo turkey = 18 lbs of turkey or over 2 lbs per person
• 9 guests including two 'couch surfers' and a german
• 10 dishes
• i made apple pie and mashed potatoes
• a jolly group of all day cooking
• unfortuneatly had to leave early to go to bareclona

So you need several things to make a thanksgiving, and i had all but one:
Giant turkey

Guests
Great Food
A jolly enviorment

Family


To get the turkey i went to 3 different stores and eventually special ordered it for over 60 bucks from my new friends the local butcher. This baby i believe was killed that morning and was consequiently the freshest turkey i have ever eaten. It barely fit in the oven.

We had 2 couch surfers over to dinner. This is a system of traveling for cheap, you sign up online and offer your couch for people to sleep on while they are traveling and thus you can stay on other people's couches. We got lucky (when i say we i mean the 3 other americans who are teaching english and living in an apartment) and got two awesome Wisconsinites!

Food = awesome

Family = absent but still had the environment.

All in all one of the best thanksgivings I've had.
