Peace Corps Thanks Giving

Saturday was the newly appointed Thanks Giving day for this particular group who'd travelled to be together. James, Poppy and I were all honoury members of the group consisting of 3 Brits, 1 Dutch girl and 15 Americans, my second Thanks Giving meal ever, and all in 1 week.

With the exception of 5 chickens, the food was cooked on gas in one of the homes. The meat was cooked on a Sigiri outside in a big pot after it had been marinated. There were 6 chickens in all but during the night a local cat had pulled one of the chickens out of the sink and through the house (over people sleeping in their sleeping bags) and finally munched away at it in the closet till morning.

Preparation took all day and we finally ate our meal together around 5pm. We'd managed to get the chicken pan so hot that we'd burned a hole right through. We chatted, exchanged stories and played games late into the evening.
