Thanksgiving - Take Two

Since one Thanksgiving simply isn't enough, and since I've been promising my Austrian friends a Thanksgiving for years, I decided to have a go at cooking Thanksgiving dinner myself. I spent all of Saturday night and most of Sunday in the kitchen, and with some help from my roommates and a few phone calls to Mom (who answered the phone with "Turkey Hotline!" all day), the food was on the table at 3pm. And it was edible!





See all that food? I cooked it. Just wanted to make that clear.


Me, "carving" my very first turkey. (More like chopping off some meat any which way I could.)


Anna-Theresa, Susi, Christine, Maguu, Daniel and Ella.




Just goes to show that you can take the girl out of America, but you can't take America out of the girl :)

To all my DC friends (especially TCBA): I so wish you could have been here. Miss you all!

Dear Graduate,

we are very proud of
our accomplishment.

However, not only your good looking bird, but especially your cranberry sauce beats any we have seen so far by a Thanksgiving novice. Have you ever thought of studying for a degree in the Culinary Arts?

We are sure you have a bright future ahead of you in any field you choose.

Continue the good work,

sincerely yours,
