Flagship Family Thanksgiving

Since we were all getting a little homesick and were going to be in Egypt for Thanksgiving, we decided to have a family style dinner together where everyone cooked something. The boys managed to find a huge, 27 lb turkey that barely fit in our oven. What came wrapped up with the Turkey? Oh yea- the head. Apparently you get the head and all when you buy a turkey in Egypt. I made an apple crumble dish that was a cross between apple sauce and apple pie filling. We had the most ghetto pumpkin pie ever which my roommate Hannah made. We're not even sure we used a pumpkin, but it was some sort of gourd. We had to evaporate our own milk, build a steamer out of multiple pots and pans, make the crust, and then the only container we had to cook it in was a frying pan. It actually turned out super delicious!

We had salads, hummus, mashed potatoes, yams, veggies, pie, torte, potato salad, etc. Everything was super delicious.

During the cooking and dinner I was trying to watch the UM v. OSU game online, but because of the slow internet, I could only watch the ESPN gamecast. Of course I was super bummed when we lost. Sigh. Maybe next year.
