Thanksgiving!

This weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving with our English group from Joyful Church. Ashley and I started preparing the turkey in the morning. We had never done it before, so it was very fun and a little scary sometimes!

Ashley made the stuffing and stuffed the bird. We buttered it up, added salt and pepper, and it just barely fit into the tiny oven!

About 8 hours later and some prayer, the turkey was done! Peter did a wonderful job carving. The Koreans were so impressed, he got all the credit for cooking such a moist turkey! There were about 20 people for our potluck feast and almost no leftovers. It was a great party.

Some Koreans had never had turkey before.

We all love turkey!

Peter's first block print is finished! Check it out! This is a scene we viewed from the roof of a building in Fez, Morocco.

Our coworker William took us out for Indian food. We shared 6 different kinds of curry and it was amazing.

The aftermath

Teacher Ashley and Teacher Jennifer. They know all of the cool ways to pose for photos. The most popular, of course, is the peace sign.

The close second is the arm heart.

Look how Korean we are! Our first heart pose.

Getting into the swing of things...

We found a place where we can get cheap, dependable pizzas (Papa John's is $25 here). This is the sweet potato honey mustard pizza, Amie's personal favorate. We haven't tried the Korean choice: hotdog and mayo.


We also tried Korean army stew, Budae Jigae. It has: spam, ramen, mushrooms, kimchi, bean sprouts, beans, hot dogs, mandu (pot stickers), and deok. It was huge, very spicy and came with five side dishes and bibs too.

We cooked it right at the table!

This is Amie's favorite river. They are both beautiful in Autumn.
