"Thanksgiving" in Taiwan!

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

Thanksgiving was postponed to accommodate everyone's teaching schedules, but we were determined to have one, so everyone signed up to make something and we all sat down and ate! It was great!

A couple of days before this little creation was compiled:

It actually held the 'napkins.' Very clever, I thought!

Before dinner the kitchen was busy with preparations!

Whitney and Laura preparing the chicken dish that would be our entrée.

(not exactly traditional, but very tasty!)

Kristi sneaking a taste of her wonderful mashed potatoes!

Stuffing . . . . excited!

Traditional home-made stuffing!!!

It was definitely a Mozel Tov Moment! Thanks Libby!

Here's a look at the entrée

Yummy!

Meg's sticky and delightful candied sweet potatoes

Oh so good!

Homemade roles by Erin!

They rival any of your's, I'll bet on it!

Our partially set table with:

Devin's corn-0n-the-cob, thank you Devin!

Lein's veggie-medley and fried rice, which were both very tasty!

Meg's stuffing is on the right and in the background is Erin's Rolls and Kristi's potatoes.

It all makes a very beautiful plate, don't you think?!

Wait, wait, wait!!! We can't forget about dessert!!!

Allison made many varieties of wonderful peanut butter cookies!

Yummy plain ones, yummy peanut-butter-cup filled cup ones, and yummy M&M topped ones!

Now, of course you can't forget pie on Thanksgiving! So I attempted to make an apple-pie with the assistance of Whitney, who had never made pie, and had just found out that her soon-to-be loves apple pie! What serendipity!

I think it turned out quit well for my first unsupervised pie!

Thanks mom for the many years of pie-support!

Well, in our mini-America we managed to pull of a great

mini-Thanksgiving!

Thanks to ALL my roommates for your Thanksgiving spirits and delicious contributions!

Katy, Allison, Whitney, Libby, Kristi, Meg, Laura, Devin, Lein

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!
