Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans out there!
It's November 24 here in Japan, but it's not a holiday. Luckily for us, yesterday was a national holiday, so to celebrate we threw our third annual Thanksgiving lunch. No turkey though - you see my oven is the size of a shoe box making it tough to cook for 10 people!! We did eat garlic and rosemary roasted chicken (quite a success considering it was the very first time I roasted chicken), apple and cranberry stuffing, cornbread muffins, gravy, cheesey potato bake, lots of vegies and thanks to Jo, we enjoyed German chocolate pie and apple crumble. Thanks to everyone for coming esp our guests from afar, Steph and Keith!! I wish I had some photos for you but I was too busy cooking and eating. We did however make everyone draw a turkey and here are their pics.
**** We were going to judge Pinku's second photo contest yesterday but we were one judge short - hopefully we get around to it on the weekend and I'll announce the results next week when the US is back from holidays!! Thank you all so much for your entries. I love all of them and am glad that I don't have to choose the winner. ****** View all entries here!!
Have a great long weekend and see you next week!
