Giving Thanks from China

Our Thanksgiving was a success! We hosted eight people, most of whom had never had a traditional Thanksgiving meal. After finding every ingredient on our list (at four different markets), we overcame the next challenge -- our small single oven -- by making the side dishes ahead of time and reheating them once the turkey was out and resting.

The Americans of the group shared the Thanksgiving story, and we went around the table sharing what we were thankful for. Just like back home! I deemed the holiday a success when each guest got seconds, requests were made for doggy bags, and leftovers were minimal. 

A Macau recap to be posted tomorrow.
