Unfortunately a few people who were invited couldn't make it, but that was okay in the end because it meant that everyone fit at the table. Also, those who came contributed a dish to the evening, which was nice. Chantal brought some cheese and dips for appetizers, Ruth and Danny the salad (and a couple chairs to fill out the table), and Clinton and Kevin brought a homemade apple pie. I was responsible for the main dishes, which were turkey, stuffing, green beans, and mashed potatoes. The stuffing in particular came out quite well.
After digesting dinner we each had a slice of both the pumpkin and apple pies, and were then all completely full. It was quite a fun evening filled with of lots of conversation, and time flew by because when I looked at the clock it was after 11 pm all of a sudden. Thanks to everyone for coming and hopefully we'll do it again next year. Good luck to all my American friends and family who are cooking and celebrating for the real date this Thursday.
