Happy Turkey Day! I will celebrating Thanksgiving on Saturday with Lindsay, Anastasia and a couple of my farm workers. So tonight it's me and Kibaibai! But I am thankful that I have Kibaibai! I am thankful for my education and that I have been given this opportunity to be in Kenya and teaching about important health issues. I am grateful for the wonderful friends I have made here. I am thankful for my family and friends back in America and for all their love and support they give me. I could definitely go on, but I don't want to hear (day by day by day by day) (Meet the Fockers anyone?) I am very sad to miss this holiday with my family back home, but I know there are many more Thanksgivings in America to come, and I am grateful that I will get to teach my Kenyan friends a little about our culture. Hope everyone has a great day, stuff's your belly, and remember to be thankful.

So my first dinner party in Kenya went off almost with out a problem. At 11 am my propane stove ran out of gas, I sent someone to refill it, guess what..... all of Turbo was out of propane! So we cooked the entire dinner on 2 charcoal stoves! We killed a male chicken ( I had anastasia's boyfriend do it, I was to busy cooking other stuff) I made green bean casserole (With fresh french beans) pumpkin and banana casserole, home baked bread, mashed potatoes and gravey (they tasted like KFC I swear!) and fruit salad. For desert I made fresh pumpkin spice donuts, and Lindsay made a carrot cake! I am so happy that everything went so well! Now I am on my way to a 2 week training. I may or may not have cried this morning when leaving Kibaibai.
