FEEEEAAAST!

The title of this post is inspired by those AWESOME snickers ads. I think they're hysterical!

So, a belated Happy Thanksgiving and an early Happy Holidays to all of you! Naturally, as any American expat would be I was more than a little homesick last Thursday. But that's no reason to forget about what is truly one of my favorite holidays! The usual suspects (meaning Andrea, Jen, Dean, Kirsten and Liz) and I were able to get together and celebrate what turned out to be a really enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner. A bar in Itaewon called Geckos hosted a buffet dinner + one drink for 35,000 won - which is about $35-$40. They had some sort of yummy tomato dish, salad, pasta, two kinds of soup, salmon, cranberry sauce (not from a can either!) grilled chicken, pot roast, roast beef, AND - of course - turkey, stuffing and lots of gravy. There wasn't any pumpkin pie; but beggars can't be choosers! I ATE SO MUCH!!!! I couldn't help myself. I think I probably ate more than I would have at home even. Most important though, was that we were all in good company, eating a hearty meal and sharing a lot of laughs last week. Which is really what Thanksgiving is all about, right?

I still miss everyone from home of course, but it's not long till we are all going home for an all too short, and much needed break for Christmas. We've even all started our Christmas shopping ... shh!


FEAST!:
