Thanksgiving
This morning started off with the usual Mimosa's(champagne and orange juice).Thank goodness we did most of the preparation last night!
The ladies cooked in the kitchen and the men outside on the BBQ with their turkey!
We have a competition to see which turkey came out the best.I have photographs to follow, but I am new to this blog stuff,so I have to ask Lauren for guidance on how to produce them.
Yesterday I took Jackie to The Lincoln Memorial Shrine in Redlands.Jackie was very impressed with all the artifacts,books and pictures that it housed.Outside of the east coast this building holds more memorablia of Lincoln and the war between the states than any other. This was my fourth visit and I always find something that I missed on my previous visits.
One of my friends was there in her official capacity as a guide, so we got some good inside information on the building etc.
Well we are about ready to eat.We did a few American Favourtite dishes,(yams,Mashed potato's and green bean casserole,but also made some of our Aussie favourites too.
Roast pumpkin, parsnips and roast potato's.Lauren and Andrew did a good job of laying the tables,Lauren even made place cards.
