Thanksgiving

My friends the Dorseys invited a bunch of folks over for Thanksgiving festivities last night. Somehow, a turkey got cooked in a microwave oven, there were mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, falafels (?), and I brought 10 cans of rare ROOT BEER. Sure enough, the Brits in the house that night thought it tasted like some sort of toothpaste. We also treated ourselves to several boxes worth of KFC, the next best thing in a country seriously lacking in turkey (though that microwaved turkey was actually really good!!!).

Today, through a twist in circumstances, I went to get some curry with some Australian and American friends, and 3 exchange students from America, Sweden and Germany respectively. The American girl smiled and exclaimed halfway through the meal, "Oh my god! This is my Thanksgiving!" A strange cast of characters and an odd setting for one's Thanksgiving, but good times nonetheless.

Following the meal, a necessary Thanksgiving tradition was upheld as I napped away the day.

What's in store for Christmas?
