Last night we celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with some of our new friends from Costa Rica. Emily cooked an 18 lb turkey to perfection. With it we enjoyed cranberry sauce, gravy, stuffing, jello salad, and pumpkin pie. The two additions to the normal menu were picadillo (Costa Rican meat chili with plantains) and tres leche cake for dessert. We were thankful to welcome to our house the members of the International Department in Roblealto: Pame Scianna and her husband Jonathan, Nelly Curling, Lizzy Rojas and her boyfriend Gilbert.
After dinner we played a game we learned from Joe Olson that is a little like "telephone" using written sentences and drawings. The catch was that each of us had to use our second language when writing. We laughed all night as many of the stories ended up being about Jonathan (for some reason). So each of us took our turns drawing Jonathan to the best of our ability!
Great great great great!!!!!! I love Thanksgiving!!!! Thank you guys for everything! That turkey and everything else was out of this world: DELICIOUS!!!!! I vote to have thanksgiving every year in Costa Rica! :)
ReplyDeleteEmily, I am so proud of you that you know how to cook a turkey. That is so way beyond my set of abilities. Did you have to reach in and pull out the insides??? That is so gross!!! My mom would teach us girls how to do that, and we would almost puke. Ha ha. Sounds like you dished up a real good old fashioned Thanksgiving meal, and I am so impressed! Happy Thanksgiving to you guys.
