Yesterday we celebrated Quasi-Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving isn't celebrated in Germany so we just picked a day for Thanksgiving and went with it. We wanted to do it before we left Germany because we aren't sure we'll do Thanksgiving in The States (we will just have moved back and we will all be jet lagged and busy looking for a place to live).
We invited two sets of missionaries over. T picked up two small rotisserie chickens from the Donner shop at the train station (our German oven couldn't handle a turkey and I didn't want to make one anyway). We made German jello (that didn't set in time), instant mashed potatoes, but everything thing else was homemade (cranberry sauce, rolls, green beans with bacon, pumpkin pie, and key lime pie). The green beans actually turned out to be my favorite part. Shocking because I'm usually all about the pie (and the pie was still good).
It was good food, good company, and just as good as real Thanksgiving.
