Thanksgiving prep begins

Here's what's on the menu for Friday:
  • Deviled eggs (as an app) 
  • Turkey (of course) and its stuffing 
  • Green bean casserole
  • Crème fraîche mashed potatoes 
  • Spinach gratin
  • Cranberry sauce (of the canned variety) 
  • Apple crisp and brownies for dessert (very American, no?) 

I've gone to three different markets so far in search of our ingredients and all that's missing now is mayonnaise (for the deviled eggs), and frozen spinach and green beans, which could be a slight problem seeing as how they're two stars of the show. It's funny how turkey and canned cranberry sauce were the easy-to-find items (we ordered the turkey from a foreigner-friendly butcher and found the cranberry sauce at a foreigner-friendly grocery store). 

Tomorrow is Thursday and a work day here in China, so we're celebrating Friday night as you all wake up for Black Friday -- and after you've given thanks for what you already have ;). Grocery shopping and prepping to be continued.
