HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Since we are 15 hours ahead of you, I wish I could say that we had a great turkey dinner. Unfortunately, I don't think turkeys live in Vietnam, not the bird kind anyway, so I opted for a pork roast, which is plentiful and of course rice and a salad. We had been given a bag of limes and we love the lime juice at most cafes, so I squeezed them for the juice and all I got out of the whole bag was one cup of juice. Now I have never done this before but how hard can it be? Well.... I think what makes the drink palatable is the tons of sugar they put in it. I on the other hand used splenda, and splenda and still more splenda, tart is a good word to describe the end results. Even watering it down did not help.
Mark has been teaching this week and for lunch they asked him what he usually eats. He told them 1/2 tuna sandwich, yogurt, some chips and maybe an apple. Well they wanted to please him but could not find a can of tuna so they brought him a can of pork-liver paste, yogurt, and for desert would you like some durian? Durian is a very smelly fruit that you either love or hate, we tried it in Thailand on one of our trips and people were burping it up for hours, of course we were on the road in a van which did not help. Never again!! He opted for an apple. Smart guy.
Tomorrow I will get to see my family by SKYPE anyway. They are all going to Jen's for dinner. I hear even my grandsons are dressing up in their Indian costumes to show me what they wore to their school Thanksgiving party. They are so cute !! Grammie misses you guys.
Jen's oldest, Ethan, turned 5 years old this week. Happy Birthday BIG GUY!!
