Thanksgiving Success

I've deemed myself and Mike Thanksgiving gurus. Here was our holiday "by the numbers":

15: Number of friends from our various walks of Shanghai life (school, work, and bike rides) who came over for our turkey dinner.

9: Number of nationalities represented (from British to Chinese; Dutch to Russian).

2: Number of appetizers served (deviled eggs and a cheese platter).

5: Number of sides that accompanied the turkey (bread stuffing, green bean casserole, spinach gratin, potato gratin, and salad, served only because we were worried we wouldn't have enough. We did.)

3: Number of desserts served with homemade whipped cream (bourbon pumpkin pie, apple crisp, and good ole American brownies).

1: Number of photos I have from our Thanksgiving dinner... of the leftovers.
