Things are going well for me here in London. I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful traditional Thanksgiving meal with my colleagues at work today. Last night, I helped my friend/coworker Amber prepare for it. We made the turkey, sweet potatoes, salad, and rolls, which was nice and felt like a little piece of home.
So, today we had a great big spread of food and almost everyone at the office joined us for the meal. This was the first Thanksgiving celebration that many of my co-workers had experienced. They don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in England. People were interested in the story of what the holiday is and how it began. They also liked trying pumpkin pie, jellied cranberry, and sweet potatoes. Turkey is not a popular meat, here, either, so it was a small challenge finding all of the fixings and tools to prepare it. But everything turned out really well. It was very lovely and the food was great! Of course, it didn't compare to home, but it was surely a nice time.
Three things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving...
My always supportive and loving friends and family
Having the opportunity to live and London and travel Europe
The internet and mobile phones so I can keep in touch with loved ones
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
