Thanksgiving Dinner (11/25)

Thursday was Thanksgiving. But, because it has been so warm and we had to work like a usual day, we didn't even think to say "Happy Thanksgiving!" until we came back from work. It feels so strange, so not like Thanksgiving. But we did have some turkey in a really tasty stew. We were invited to a Thanksgiving dinner today though. One of Deb's co-workers invited us to his house for a "gringo" Thanksgiving. Marcos, a Chilean, married Carrie from Chicago. They met in a Master's program in the University of Chile. Anyway, family was here in Chile to celebrate Thanksgiving and so Marcos invited us too. We gladly accepted and attempted a cranberry relish for a contribution to the meal. (Except we found no cranberries until the day before, and they were canned.) I attempted a gravy by invitation also. But the meal was great and it was nice to hang out with Marcos and family. Their house is huge, and they had a third floor observatory with a great view. They only thing to watch out for were the dogs. Big Labs that really could lick someone to death if precautions aren't taken!
