It was a festive Thanksgiving holiday for us. To begin with, it was the first Thanksgiving experience for Yinan, our exchange student. I don\u2019t know if she was amused or appalled by the amount of food served, but she discovered that she loves mashed potatoes (or, as she calls them, \u201csmashed potatoes\u201d).<\/p>\n

We had 25 people in total for dinner. We could not have pulled out the dinner without Yinan\u2019s help and the help of Jim\u2019s nephew, Robert.<\/p>\n

This was our Thanksgiving menu:<\/p>\n

Thai pumpkin soup<\/p>\n

Smoked organic free range turkey<\/p>\n

Gravy<\/p>\n

Orange cranberry sauce<\/p>\n

Roasted carrots<\/p>\n

Mashed potatoes<\/p>\n

Brussel sprouts with bacon<\/p>\n

Chocolate pumpkin cheesecake<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t yet figured out whether we have this many people over for Thanksgiving so that Jim can cook 3 turkeys or whether Jim cooks 3 turkeys so that we can have this many people over.<\/p>\n

Hope everyone had as fun a Thanksgiving holiday as we did!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
