So, now I will do three posts of highlights from the past 6 weeks!
THANKSGIVING IN SOUTH AFRICA
(not a holiday here of course, but we thought we'd introduce our friends to the "American way" of inhaling a ridiculous amount of food and then promptly falling asleep!
Claire (left) was the one soul brave enough to help Beth (right) and I cook all day... well, I don't know that anything I did could be qualified as cooking... But Beth was awesome! :o)
Me and Claire "helping" - and snacking!
The Americans
Removing the turkey guts! This is why we gave the unsuspecting South African this job!
Thankfully Beth was a Thanksgiving pro...
A little break to watch the Thanksgiving episodes of "Friends" while the food cooked :o)
Becoming an American already... full of snacks before dinner even started! We all know that kind of pain well...
Sweet potatoes in SA are white, and plain marshmallows are pink - this made for a very odd looking American dish...
Paul carved the turkey the only way he imagined how - with scissors. A little South African flair to Thanksgiving.
The spread...
The food turned out so well... the friends are still talking about it :o) I think this may become South African tradition as well!
Good friends, good food, good times...
