Thanksgiving- Ringraziamento

 "How do you say when a volcano vomits....spits....?" Gian lu tru

For thanksgiving Tim, Hil, Kels and I cooked a big feast right here in Italia. 

We found a turkey and everything

Actually that was a bit of trouble

We ordered a turkey but it didn't end up coming

So the night before thanksgiving we were calling all over town to meat shops

The week prior to thanks giving we were all really worried that it would not work out

We all went shopping together for the food.

We thought we might not have enough! (that was a joke)

We made;

Turkey

Graver

Mashed Potatoes

Stuffing

Carrots

Greenbeans

Apple pie

Apple  Cider

& 

Deviled eggs

We basicaly spent the entire day cooking for thanks giving

It ended up beaing a lot of fun

Kelsey and some of the ingredients before we started-

We cooked thanks giving at Kelsey's house

We ended up cooking for 21 people 

It was crazy

None of the people here in Italy knew how long a turkey could take to cook

They all thought it was impossible for it to take 3 hours 

(with our big turkeys in america it takes like 6)

we had a 7 kilo turkey

It cost about 40 euros! so expensive!

Tim and the morning Pancakes-

In the morning we made delicious pancakes! 

It was amazing!

Then we got right to work

Kels and hil worked on apple pie 

Tim peeled things and looked for a turtle (not to cook, don't worry)

I started on the stuffing

Then it was soon time for the turkey

Tim got to do the great job of cleaning it

It was really groose it still had a few feathers on it!

He basically filled it up like a cup and washed it out it was hilarious!

Tim, Paolo and Hil in the banquet hall-
