Last night we hosted a Thanksgiving dinner at our apartment. Chef Ryan cooked all of the traditional sides and we cheated again this year by purchasing roasted chickens from the market instead of turkey (cooked turkeys cost a few hundred dollars here, craziness!). Guests brought a variety of appetizers, salads, sides, and desserts. Between the 11 of us, we still couldn't even finish half of the food because there was so much of it!
In attendance for the evening was an international group, we had friends from the US, Switzerland, Italy, Mexico, Argentina, and Germany. It is always fun to introduce non-US friends to the tradition of Thanksgiving. Over the past two years we have found that the show-stealer is the sweet potato dish with roasted marshmallows, we get so many compliments on how much everyone loves it and never would have thought such a dish or combination of foods existed.
Happy early Thanksgiving to all of our family and friends! Hope you are excited for the short work week and are looking forward to celebrating the holiday with family and friends!
