Turkey in Turkey

Holidays in a foreign country aren't quite the same, but we always do our best to make it feel like home. Thanksgiving, even though it is strictly an American holiday, was no different. Jayme, Jessica and Melissa (and Chris and John) went all out to prepare a feast the pilgrims and Squanto would have been proud of. With this being our first turkey we were a little apprehensive as we put the 14lb, $40 bird in the oven. However, three hours later, he was crispy and brown on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. After dinner we feasted on the usual pies and football. All and all it was a great day.

In keeping with tradition, Friday was a wonderful day of leftovers and more football. Fortunately, through a Thanksgiving miracle, we were able to see MSU create a miracle of their own and beat Ole Miss in the final seconds. Even though we weren't with our families at home, we enjoyed spending time with our Turkey family.
