Being thankful with what'cha got...

Thanksgiving in Korea, for some reason, does not always go as smoothly as in the States. First of all, nobody has a clue what a turkey even is around here. Secondly, ovens are few and far between. And there aren't any cranberries. And our bosses could care less if it is a big holiday in the States, we had to work a full day. Regardless of these minor setbacks, we had a hell'ova Thanksgiving. A roast baked in a toaster oven, Minnesota mashed potatoes (which tasted a lot like California mashed potatoes), stove-topped stuffing with few seasonings, a bachelor's steamed veggies (which, being one of the only things he's ever cooked besides Mac & Cheese, did not include any seasonings, but was just plain carrots and cauliflower), some Kiwi pork (which is not the fruit, but pork made by a New Zealander), ridiculously overpriced cheese, lots of cheap wine, and a really cool group of folks from all over the world. What more could ya' ask for?
That said, we missed watching football, stuffing ourselves with turkey, taking a nap, and hanging out with family.
How was your Thanksgiving?
