My day started at about 9am when I got a message from an Australian I met over here saying "It's snowing!" Best wake-up message ever. I ran outside and took photos like a Japanese tourist...even though I have seen more than my fair share of snow before.
After the initial excitement wore down I went back inside to see the GIANT turkey going into the oven...at 9am! It sat there cooking all day making the flat smell incredible. We started preparing the rest of the food at around 4pm and cooked for a solid 3.5/4 hours before everything was ready. We used 3 different ovens in 3 different flats in order to cook everything.
When it was all served up an eery silence fell over the group as we took our first bite. It turned out that we were all so hungry for smelling turkey all day we didn't want to ruin the moment by talking. The food was incredible, the deserts were fantastic and all of us were stuffed by the end...pun intended...lame I know!
The first snow of the season on Thanksgiving Day...surely that is a sign of good luck?
