Thanksgiving Dinner

It was a Thanksgiving day miracle---turkey was on the table after all! We had a pot luck style dinner with a variety of delights---apple salad, sushi, nachos, mashed potatoes, hummus and veggies, meatballs, homemade mac and cheese, applesauce (made by yours truly), and even an apple pecan pie! There was a lot of "Where did you find refried beans/black olives/pecans/Hershey's kisses??" going on.

I think we felt proud to share this tasty American holiday with folks from Isreal, Russia, China, Australia, Finland, Japan, Pakistan, Ireland...even if it wasn't exactly the way we celebrate it in the homeland.
