Thanksgiving was great. A lot of us Americans got together and had Thanksgiving lunch/all afternoon party. We had 2 turkeys and all the fixings. I was in charge of appetizers so I made stuffed jalapeños and baby spinach and potato quiche. The jalapeños where stuffed with cream cheese mixed with Lawry’s seasoning salt and wrapped in bacon. They were the most popular thing there. the baby quiches drew comments such as cute and tasty but stood no chance against the jalapeños.
Quiche was the first thing my mom taught me to cook but with prepared pie crust already made. So I had to make my own. I used the same recipe for my apple pie crust. For the potato layer I boiled potatoes, shredded them and then put them in the cupcake tin wells. Cooked them for 20 min. and then added the egg mixture. They didn’t turn out like I wanted them to.
So we all got ready to eat. We prayed a good ol’ family prayer. Everyone held hands and the oldest male prayed over the food and we were off. As my turn came I went through the line and when I got to the end I felt like something was missing because there was a place on my plate not filled with something. So I just got some more stuffing not thinking much of it. We continued our party with the blessing jar or kettle. This year everyone had to put something in they were thankful for and then they would be read and everyone would guess who it was that wrote it. We had some good laughs and some good (what do you call it when some thing is said and everyone goes awwwwwwwwwwwww that was so sweet).
We then proceeded to watch a football game–Cowboys vs. Giants. Go cowboys.
We played games, built a puzzle, and watched “A Christmas Story.” Then as we were all cleaning up and handing out leftovers someone had a revelation. “Wait,” they said, “where was the green bean casserole?”… there for a moment in time my heart was saddened but then I reminded myself that I was getting to take a pie home and the world was at peace. So my answer to every crises…..apple pie.

well one month left I have a feeling that this is going to be a slow month just trying to finish this mounth but we will see I hope to travel a little when I get done and try and find a job now that I am done with my language school but we will see.

other than that my mom sent me a Christmas package and that was exciting to get I am getting together with some friends for thanksgiving and I am in charge of appetizers. I am going to make jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon the only problem is I have to move the pork (which if the taxi man knew I had it in his car would probably stone me) from my house to where the party is.
