Thanksgiving Feast

Drew and I were invited to join his boss, family, and a few friends for a Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday.  There were about 7 adults and 5 children in total, making for a nice celebration.  We even met an older gentleman from Kentucky who grew up in Owensboro like Drew.  It was a real treat to celebrate this holiday with fellow Americans while so far away from home.

My contribution to the feast was my Grandma's no-bake cookies and my Aunt Billie's macaroni and cheese. To Drew's dismay no macaroni and cheese was left for us to take home.

Surprisingly, my favorite part of the meal was the turkey and gravy.  It must be because we don't get as much meat here as we normally do at home.

Butterball picked up from our Costco trip

Corn, gravy, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese.

The dessert table was out of control.  We had homemade apple pie, brownies, cinnamon rolls, my no-bakes, Japanese cake rolls, and a cannelloni dessert.  I think I ate more of the sweets than I did the actual meal.  Drew and I felt full for two whole days after this.  Fantastic!
