thanksgiving

each year there's a big party in the capital for thanksgiving. i went last year, and it was amazing.
this year, i was planning to go, but then i felt lazy and cheap and decided i wanted to save all that travel money (and up to 28 hours on a bus) and stay home.
a couple other volunteers in the area had the same idea, so we made a thanksgiving dinner ourselves.
i have to admit, it rivaled the feast at the ambassador's house, plus we killed that turkey OURSELVES.


turkey. mashed potatoes. gravy. stuffing. green beans. carrots. deviled eggs.
plus wine, chocolate pudding, marble cake, and apple cobbler, not pictured.

  1. Yum! Way to go! Our first Thanksgiving in Morocco we had turkey which was killed in our driveway, carried upstairs leaving behind a trail of blood and plucked in our kitchen. Not sure my mom ever made us turkey again while we were in Morocco. You are brave!
