Happy Thanksgiving

We held our own celebration here at the American Home, cooking a great feast last Sunday for the Russian staff and our host families. My contributions included bread pudding and gravy for the turkey (yes, we actually found some turkeys in Russia!) For many of us, it was the first time we'd ever really made everything on our own. With a recipe mix of family favorites from all parts of the country, it turned out quite well. You can see us making fruit salad in the kitchen, and me stirring the pot of gravy on the stove.
