We had some friends over to celebrate Thanksgiving yesterday.
It was an odd thing to wear a summer dress on Thanksgiving!
Our guests were Sev's colleague Michael and his wife Iris. They're actually German but lived in Portland for 16 years before moving to Brisbane.
Their daughter Anna.
Their other daughter Nina and her boyfriend Cory.
And their dog Jessie, who loved the pupper patch!
Since Thanksgiving isn't a holiday here, we had to wait until Saturday to celebrate it.
Sev carved his first turkey ever, and it was the first time I roasted a turkey that didn't turn out dry!
We made plenty of extra so we would have lots of left overs!
Our sweet potato dish was new for the Meidows and I think it was a hit!
Our tiny oven did some serious work, and our air conditioner did as well!
You can see we had plenty of Australian wine to go with our meal.
And our usual wonderful view of the river. It was a perfect night - about 75 degrees once the sun went down.
I made a butternut squash pie since I couldn't find pumpkin here.
It was quite popular, and I loved it myself too! I think it was better than pumpkin pie even!
Cory, being Australian, had pumpkin and pecan pie for the first time.
He also had a street dog on his lap for the first time! Quita can find a dog lover in any crowd!
