What are seven Americans to do while in a foreign land during a time that everyone is venturing home from school for the best eating holiday of the year? Throw a Thanksgiving party for all our closest European friends, thats what! On Wednesday (no not thursday, a bunch of us will be traveling + a few of us have no class on Wednesday enabling us to cook all day) are hosting approximately 20 people: 7 API Students, API Director (Hungarian), 6 French students, 2-3 German students, 1 Mexican student, 1 API student girlfriend (American of Chinese decent), and possibly 1-2 Hungarian students. We are making roast turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, cornbread, honey glazed carrots, broccoli casserole, pumpkin pie, apple crisp...and all of this is being funded by a 18000 forint (100 dollar) donation made by a former student! Woo! We have told our guests that it is also a potluck, and that if they could each bring a national dish+wine to the dinner that would be great! So tomorrow, a few of us are venturing off to Tesco (supermarket) to gather all the supplies except the turkey, which I will get on Tuesday. Here's hoping I buy a turkey big enough, but also small enough to fit into our miniscule ovens!
Here are some pictures of my time in Budapest for your enjoyment: Budapest Pictures!
