Sharing Tradition |
In the middle of working on several
different projects and not having the time to travel between filling out grant
applications and conversations with the mayor, I decided to make Thanksgiving
happen here in my site, thanks to my mom. She sent me a Thanksgiving care
package packed with all the necessities to make an international Thanksgiving
dinner, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, apple cider, pumpkin puree and a box
of pumpkin cake mix.
Making Mac and Cheese |
I invited
my host family, friends, local counterpart and some families that I have become
close to during my service to share this American holiday. With the help of some little
helpers we
whipped up some Thanksgiving magic. We cooked green beans, mashed potatoes,
sweet potato salad, macaroni and cheese, stuffing and what’s Thanksgiving
dinner without cranberry sauce. The only thing that was missing was the…turkey. It’s ok
because we enjoyed our vegetarian thanksgiving and had plenty of food to
share.
