This weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving in Boston. Our supervisor, Ketty, invited us to spend the holiday at her home with her family and friends to experience a proper American Thanksgiving dinner. On Thursday morning we rose early and baked some chocolate chip cookies to take with us.
At Ketty's we were treated to a scrumptious spread of delicious food including BBQ'd turkey with cranberry sauce, stuffing, sweet potatoes, roasted vegtables, creamy mash and the best bread rolls or 'biscuits' I have ever tasted. We enjoyed our traditional thanksgiving meal sitting round the table and chatting with our new friends. Upon arrival we each wrote down what we were thankful for and this was read out after dinner. It was nice to listen to what everyone was thankful for and to share our stories.
My four roommates and I took some time to appreciate and share our thanks for this amazing opportunity we have been given here in the states. We are now nearing the half way mark as Christmas approaches and have individually experienced and learned so much, met so many brilliant people and visited lots of exciting places so far. We are extremely thankful to everyone who has helped and guided us along the way in this American adventure.
After a well needed slouch on the sofa, dessert was served! Ketty's mother in-law, chief pie maker, had baked six delicious pies, two pumpkin, two blueberry and two apple. I opted for pumpkin, it was soooOO tasty (must get my hands on the recipe!). The pies were devoured and long after we said our goodbyes and headed for the train.
A special day at the Rosenfeld's!
