A Grenadian-American Thanksgiving

Although Grenada celebrates its Thanksgiving in October, we decided to celebrate American Thanksgiving on the traditional fourth Thursday in November with a turkey and all the usual trimmings.

There were no pilgrims or indians, but we had three students (2 med, 1 vet) and their amazing wives...

Pumpkin pies ready to bake...

A little island mimosa action for the hard-cooking ladies

An example of the frustration that comes with cooking on this island...
the oven was set for 25 degrees less than necessary
and pies were in for 10 minutes less than they should have been 

Sheridan's Chocolate Oat Bars...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The turkey is stuffed and getting injected with all kinds of goodness!

Into the oven it goes! 
Turkey bag = no basting and extra moist turkey!

Cooked to perfection!



The dinner table set for six

The spread of amazing food!
Clockwise from top: stuffing, "crack bread", mashed potatoes, pineapple-peach-cranberry sauce,
green bean cassarole and of course turkey! 
(not pictured: gravy, pumpkin pie and chocolate oat bars)

Hungry, hungry students! (CW, Matean and Monty)
