I had the BEST INTENTIONS to spend time right now writing about this past week (week 1 of my internship) and I have LOTS to tell you, but I'm going to postpone that blog until tomorrow because of THANKSGIVING!!!!!
I just had a Thanksgiving dinner I will never forget lol. It's a few days late, but it was worth it. Thursday was kind of lonely...I was definitely homesick and missing my family, even though my host mom was SO sweet and made this chicken dish thing that had a sauce like gravy (=. It's just not the same when you eat it with rice and tortilla lol.
But today our group...all American students and various Oaxacan friends/boyfriends....had a Thanksgiving "comida." SO FUN!!!!
Here are some things our menu consisted of:
- 10 rotisserie chickens .... I HELPED CARVE!!!
- 16 pies .... pumpkin, apple, pie de queso, chocolate, cinnamen roll delight (?)
- 4, 4L bottles of wine ... seriously.
- our homemade (close as can be) versions of stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad, fruit salad, APPLESAUCE (that was almost like mom's!!!!), green bean casserole, gravy, etc.
- cookies with nutella lol, fudge
Needless to say....I am drunk on food, even though I didn't have any of the wine. There was lots of laughter and love, especially since we've all been off doing our own things this week and haven't seen one another.
For sure a Thanksgiving I won't forget. And as for homesickness....yes....it's true. But 3.5 weeks and I'll be home for Christmas. I can't wait for the hugging!!!
