Happy Thanksgiving friends & family! I hope you are all enjoying a nice holiday weekend. Sadly, it is not a holiday weekend over here, and those of you who are jealous of all my vacation time will be happy to know that I have had to work all week, including Thanksgiving Day (it was only 1 hr, but I still had to prepare and actually teach, therefore it counts! ;) Even though all us Americans over here had to complete our daily duties on Thanksgiving, we still decided to pull together a feast to share with each other and our new European friends. As much as we wanted to keep tradition alive by having all the normal Thanksgiving foods, we sadly had to compromise on many items, including a turkey, since turkey isn't in season until the 1st week of December here (just our luck!), but we did manage to pull together an INCREDIBLE feast of the following foods:
-ham
-mashed potatoes (mashed with a spoon ladle, I might add)
-green bean casserole
-home made biscuits
-carrots
-corn
-stuffing
-2 bowls of Spanish sangria
-3 pies (apple, cherry, and chocolate)
Needless to say, for 6 people, we had a TON of food! Even though none of us were with our families, we were able to create an awesome meal with our new friends, which made celebrating the holiday a little more enjoyable.

| Happy Thanksgiving! (notice how the Americans are big time cheesing and the Europeans are like, eh, whatever) |
