I forgot what we were talking about that led Bry to comment (jokingly): Singapore does whatever America does. It is this close to becoming Guam.
But you know what, he’s kinda right!
Speaking of America…I’m now planning tomorrow’s Thanksgiving dinner meal. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite American holidays, which is why I wanna hold on to this tradition even while in Australia! It really promotes graciousness and family bonding…and HOME-COOKED FOOD! Technically, it is today. But because I have Spanish class tonight, we decided to do it tomorrow…which will coincide with the actual Thanksgiving day in the U.S.
Menu:
- Roast chicken (yeah, no turkey for us this year. it is selling for $10/kg – totally insane!!)
- Pumpkin soup
- Mashed potatoes
- String beans fried with shallots and shitake mushrooms (made this for last year’s Thanksgiving…very delicious!)
- Apple crumble pie (yes, gonna try this AGAIN! need to perfect it)
I think that’s enough food for just the two of us.

Hey! The menu sounds awesome! I made some kind of green bean casserole topped with crackers and fried onions…sounds like yours is the healthier version. Haha. My boyfriend’s dad had ham on the table (in addition to turkey) – that may be something you could do next year, since it’s not as quotidian as chicken – and it’s probably cheaper than turkey? It was delicious!
