Thanksgiving

There's been plenty of firsts during my time in Mongolia, including my first American Thanksgiving.

Our apartment played host to an epic feast of yummy food and good company. We managed to prepare a perfect turkey, a first for everyone involved, along with a heap of great savouries - 'beets' aka beetroot, carrots, vegies, salads and dessert featured an aussie style trifle alongside more traditional american pumpkin pie, and a selection of cakes and sweet things

Here's a peek at the chaos when the food was finally ready:



The spread rivaled any I've experienced before - this thanksgiving idea is a great way to kick off the festive season with some feasting and giving of thanks.

Today has a definite boxing day feel - lots of left overs to nibble on, very relaxed and sport playing on the TV - special wrestling competition to celebrate Mongolian Independance Day!
