thank you to both of our parents for skyping with us and giving us the advice we needed to cook the turkey, stuffing and gravy properly. the turkey is very close to being done and looks wonderful and the stuffing and gravy are amazing. its really thanksgiving now!
happy thanksgiving everyone!
on thursday we bought a 9 kilo turkey (about 19 lbs) and walked from santa maria to our casa, al with frozen turkey and me with the other bag of groceries about half an hour. it defrosted in the fridge 2 days and we asked to use the oven and our dueños said no, so this morning we took the Trole (public transport) with the turkey and walked uphill 6 blocks to the house of our friends to use their oven. we could not contact them before so we just showed up and rang the bell asking if they would grant us the favor of using their oven for the 4 hours necessary. we prepared the stuffing and gravy and are now waiting for the turkey to finish cooking in about 2 hours. we are using a large pot to cover the turkey instead of tin foil which i have never seen used here. everything is improvised. we stuffed half of the stuffing in the turkey and the other part is cooking in a pot along side of it in the oven. around 4 we are having our big fiesta for thanksgiving at our house in which 30 of our friends are coming over. they are all bringing a dish from their respective country. after dinner we will salsa dance in our house and if we feel like going out we might go out dancing. we are deciding if we want to take the cooked turkey by public transport or take a taxi back to our casa. our friend leonie from germany is here helping us cook. al and leonie went out to buy bread for a small lunch because we will have such a large dinner in a few hours.
tomorrow we are going to the oñas to help them cook and bake a cake for the birthday part of their oldest son esteven. 35 friends of esteven will be there and we are making a chaulafan which is a mixture of rice and vegetables and meat with spices. al will help with the chocolate cake.
on friday 3 children came to me asking if i can take them to get their eyes checked so this friday again i will go with several children, as well as on monday to pay for the glasses of one child.
i am reading a book of parables, stories and morals in spanish called la culpa es de la vaca (its the cows fault) that i plan on buying this book so that if i ever teach spanish someday i will use these short stories with my students. who knows what i will do for a career, but i find it works best if i dont think or worry about it too much because this only brings stress. for now i will enjoy today and all the food from around the world as well as the typical american turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing. it finally smells like thanksgiving here even though it doesnt feel like it with the sun and warm weather.
chao a todos y feliz dia de las gracias!
