Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  I am a bit late posting, but I just learned how to use a blog and as everyone knows, I am not savvy with computers :)  Thanks to Caroline for teaching me!

So I hosted Thanksgiving this year and let me just say, I was very nervous!  Not because I was hosting, but because I have never cooked a Turkey or Ham, on top of all the other items, and I had to do this in a tiny kitchen and tiny oven where you can cook one thing at a time.  Also I was having 8 people in a tiny space, WOW! Anyone who has lived overseas will understand. 

So, I had to cook the Turkey in a slow cooker.  But, to my astonishment, everything was perfect!!!  The food was great. We all had a blast, as you can see above.  Starting from left to right there is Lonnie, Matthew & Jennifer, Trisha & Corey, and Kathleen & David. 

After dinner we had tea, so Scottish :)

So, clean-up was a task.  As you can see 6 people in my kitchen is not ideal, but fun!  Corey is doing dishes behind Trisha and me. So during dinner it started snowing, it was beautiful!  And it snowed for 7 days straight, but you will see pictures from that on another post.

After everyone left, Lonnie and I went walking up the Royal Mile to the Castle.  This is how much the snow covered in 2 hours. Oh yes!
