Thanksgiving



We had another lovely Thanksgiving in Moldova this year.  Once again the Peer Support Network organized a holiday feast of all of the volunteers and staff at the Peace Corps office in Chisinau.  As the events coordinator for PSN, it was my job to organize the entire event, which ended up serving about 100 people a fantastic meal.  And like any good organizer, I delegated.  Big thank you to Susan and her team for their wonderful decorations.  They were super cute and very creative.


Everyone's cellphones ended up on the table together.  It got a bit confusing over which belonged to who.  And which was ringing.

 Another big thank you to Zach (right in green) who organized the turkey killing adventure and brought us six, count them SIX, turkeys to cook.  They all turned out very tasty.  Especially the Southwestern one, which I plan to do at Thanksgiving in the future.
A vegetarian's nightmare...







Isn't that a lovely sight.  Uck...
Action shot!


When the first turkeys were ready to come out of the oven it turned into a photo op.  We had two turkeys flying around the kitchen and three cameras going, one doing video.



At one point I grabbed someone and made them take a picture of me so my family wouldn't have to see pictures of only other people.
And our fantastic clean-up crew!  Thanks guys!!


Everyone did a great job, Thanksgiving was wonderful, we got a lot of compliments.  Next year I'm planning on asking my grandma to teach me how to make her super tasty stuffing which I've missed a lot over the last two years.
