A Kampala Thanksgiving

Last weekend on saturday November 27th we had a little get to gether to celebrate American Thanksgving here in Kampala. Everyone brought something to eat and we had a big feast! The tradition is to eat turkey so Sarah tried to make this happen here. She called the butcher and ordered a turkey that they were going to pluck and have freshly ready for us to pick up on the day of the dinner party. However, when we got to the butcher they had mixed up the order and could only offer us a frozen turkey..so we had to get chickens instead. But that didn’t stop us from still celebrating traditionally. We had all the good stuff that goes with a Thanksgving meal; gravy, stuffing, salad, mashed potatoe, sweet potatoe, beans, peas, carrots, cauliflower and rolls. The red wine bottles were obviously also a must to this fabulous meal. We even went around the table to say our thanks :) For dessert Mandana made a delicious apple crumble which we had with vanilla ice cream. Another fun night with some wonderful people that I’ve met while here in Kampala!
