We spent another Thanksgiving holiday in Korea, so this year, my friend Jennie and I undertook a traditional meal, complete with turkey! Here is our handiwork. You can see our hardworking legs in the background. Our bird was truly yummy, and I recommend a brine for all of you who might tackle such a feat for Christmas.
Our menu: turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green salad, maple-glazed carrots, cranberry jelly, babaganoush (Lebanese contribution), pumpkin pie with home-made whipped cream, and home-made flan. Wonderful!
Jimmy and Sarah were our hosts, so we insisted that he do the honors and carve the bird.
Caught in mid-something.

This is the crowd, pre-feast. We were grateful to have such a good Thanksgiving gathering. Even when you're away from your family, getting people together around the table is something special.
