an African thanksgiving.

our African thanksgiving was quite complete.
many of us shared a large meal, all coming from different parts of the world.
due to a turkey costing nearly $150 U.S. dollars here in Tanzania, we opted for chicken rather than splurging for the sake of tradition.

i attempted a homemade apple pie with no recipe in mind for the contents or the crusts. considering the altitude factors and small camper sized gas ovens which cook all sorts of uneven, it turned out well.
due to the lack of turkey itself being had at this Thanksgiving, we opted to throw a hand-drawn turkey on the cake in honor of the holiday.

a grand dinner, far different from the usual rices and beans left all of us roommates feeling quite full and content.


although i miss gathering with my family in these days, thanksgiving was well celebrated in the tropical heat of Tanzania.
