My American friends and I decided we wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving so we started planning what we were going to cook and who we were bringing. Vanessa, Lauren, Emily A, and I hosted and our guests were Akeem (Miami), Binni (Iceland), Jake (Vancouver), Mario (Portugal), Begga (Iceland), Cecilia (Sweden), Marija (Croatia) and Catherine (NC, now living in Iceland). Vanessa, Lauren, Emily A, Begga, and I all went shopping together a couple days before. We bought our turkey that cost about $80 and all the other ingredients we would need. Since the turkey was so much we split the costs among all our guests. I made stuffing and peanut butter bars. The peanut butter bars were delicious and were a hit, even among the European non peanut butter eaters. Vanessa made delicious apple pie and sweet potato casserole; Lauren was in charge of the turkey and gravy and made a pumpkin roll; Emily A made mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. We put tables together and ate in our common room and went around the table and said what we were thankful for. The food and company were really nice and it was a fun Thanksgiving. I was glad to still celebrate it and to show our other friends what it was all about!
