A Belated Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! Four days off of work dedicated to eating…. What more can one really ask for? I find it tough waking up on the morning and going to work knowing that all of my friends and family on the other side of the planet are sleeping in and preparing for the day’s feast. C’mon Aussies you need to come up with an equivalent!

So with the tradition of hosting a pseudo Thanksgiving started last year, we whipped up a belated Thanksgiving feast on a warm Sunday afternoon. Turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce and gravy, homemade stuffing, brussels sprouts with bacon, cornbread, salads, mac and cheese and yams and marshmallows (still totally puzzled as to why one can only buy packets of white and pink marshmallows- we had to pick out the pink), not to mention the desserts including pumpkin pie, apple pie, and pavlova… A perfect afternoon with food, friends and family… 

Kate and I ate the leftovers for an entire week (oh dear). I think I can wait another year to indulge again. Oh wait, it’s just the beginning of the holiday season!
