Thanksgiving (Part 3 of 3)




Arrived in Dosso the Monday before Thanksgiving. Spent the week hanging out and buying the things necessary to make our feast that Thursday. And boy what a feast we had. Definitely not lacking on any of the traditional dishes one would get in the states. Pumpkin pie, corn bread, cranberries…. No chutney though…. We even bought a Turkey a couple months ago and left it with the neighbors to keep and fatten. It’s interesting to watch the whole process of cooking the
turkey, from killing to gutting to cooking. I think it even made it taste better. Who knew turkeys didn’t come from the freezer in Safeway?

The only thing I missed was falling asleep watching football after the meal. Well, actually we watched game four of the last world series that night. Hard to get into the game when you know that the Red Socks are going to win.
