thanksgiving with the other american assistants was rockin'! everyone brought something yummy to eat and everything tasted really good. K and i made garlic green beans which came out great, H made sweet potatoes (she had to hunt them down at an asian market) with marshmallows, S made the chicken (couldn't find a turkey in time) and corn bread and gravy, E and C came with pumpkin pie and apple pie, R brought some little appetizers and S brought some bread. We all ate until we were totally stuffed, and then ate some more. F, a french native, said the food was good but heavy. we had a good laugh at that because most of us think french food is heavy but F has a good point--most of our food is heavy in that starchy way.
it was so bloody cold out otherwise i think we would have gone for a walk after dinner to work it out. my only gripe was the smokers smoked inside the apartment, which can get a little stuffy after a while. i febreezed my clothes last night, though, and the smoke scent is mostly gone, but i don't think i care much for the febreeze scent...
