Thanksgiving in Korea!

I know this post is a little late...but better late than never, right?!!? So...how do a group of English teachers manage to have a Thanksgiving dinner?


First, someone sees an advertisement in a Daegu English magazine on Facebook advertising turkey delivery Thanksgiving weekend. This makes the idea of having a real turkey dinner possible! Next, we decide whose tiny apartment would fit all of us (mine), plan to make a trip to Costco the Friday before our celebration, pay for the turkey, and wait for over a month for the holiday to arrive! Here's pictures from our party!!
The feast!
My plate...
Fluke's plate...
Pumpkin pie, apple pie, cheesecake, and a ton of whipped cream!!
Oh, and you should know that dessert was after a 2hr movie break after dinner!
This is what everyone's dessert plate looked like! ^-^*
Amazing apple pie from Costco!!
We bought the dinner rolls, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and Caesar salad dressing from Costco. We used gravy packets and stuffing mix sent from home. I made garlic mashed potatoes in 2 batches because I don't have a pot large enough to make it in one. Fluke carved the turkey, which was delivered right on time. And that basically covers our Thanksgiving meal~


Now we have to think about our Christmas plans! I'm thinking a nice dinner out...because then there's no dishes! heehee Anyway, Thanksgiving was a huge success! The best part was that we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving in October at a Canadian owned restaurant/store and then U.S. Thanksgiving about a month later :)


Ok, now I have to think about funny things my students say! Fluke's stories are awesome, and I know I have some good ones too...if only I can remember them!


Bye everyone!
