We ended up celebrating with Bobby's school friends at the Blue Cactus, a mexican restaurant in South Kensington. We were 2 of 4 Americans teaching everyone about Thanksgiving and how to celebrate properly - in other words, eat until you drop. Along with us Americans, there were 2 Brits, a Dutch, a Malaysian, a Columbian and a Lebonese. They were very impressed with the holiday!!!
We started our Thanksgiving feast with what else? Margaritas, nachos and quesidillas which were actually quite delicious. Then a turkey dinner with all the fixins - mashed potatoes, gravy, a stuffing patty (we weren't quite sure on this one, but didn't ask questions), cranberry sauce and some brocolli and cauliflower. Then, the moment we were all waiting for, the pumpkin pie. But when it got to our table, we were all pretty disspointed to see what looked more like a pumpkin cookie. Nevermind that it tested awful...we think they put pepper in it?
And it just wouldn't be Thanksgiving unless we all went around the table and said what we were thankful for. Everyone is just happy to have the opportunity to be living here and meeting all these new friends (aww...cheesy but true).
