Well Thanksgiving has come and gone, and I didn't miss home as much as I was worried I would. We had the teacher's party the day after, and the meal was delicious.
appetizers...
I didn't find a whole Turkey, but was able to get Turkey breasts, so we got four of those. I had to borrow a huge pan from the Diko Cafe, and then bring the seasoned turkey to their oven to cook it! It was pretty funny walking down the street with a pan of turkey breasts, and then I had to go there every half hour to check on its progress. 
I also made stuffing with Turkish bread that I cut up and let get stale.
I seasoned both with sage, thyme, salt, pepper, celery (which is hard to find), and onions. It was soooo good. I also made homemade salsa (even though I couldn't find cilantro..), and triple berry pie (with raspberries, blackberries, and sour cherries), a salad, and ranch dressing. 
Plus the other teachers brought a lot of other food. We even played Christmas music at the party to make ourselves feel at home, and we are hopefully going to set up a Christmas tree tomorrow. :)3 1/2 weeks until Egypt/Christmas! I'm getting so excited I can hardly wait.
Time is flying!

Looks like great food and a great time with friends. We really missed you but I'm so thankful that you had a good time.
Wow, did you make all of that from scratch or did you use a recipe. I don't think that I could have been that amazing. Even with a recipe. :) Happy late Thanksgiving!
