Thanksgiving

Well, Thanksgiving may have delayed our preparations but this afternoon we had one fabulous meal. Despite having just recovered from seasickness, I said yes to a Thanksgiving Pot luck buffet dinner at 4.30pm.

Well, what an impressive spread. Turkey baked and turkey fried and turkey smoked, stuffing, salads, cranberry sauce and jelly, corn bread, pasta, beans, mashed potato, gravy, and more. Then there was dessert - so many types of pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, oreo icecream cake, cream pies, several types of apple pie and cherry pie. As is the American habit everything, including the vegetables and the salad, was sweet.

It was held in the Hawaiian Yacht Club room and there were probably 120 people there (most of them pretty ancient I have to say!). We ate as the sun set and the full moon shone, wondering what the poor people were doing today though not for long. Afterwards Ian and I were taken to pick up some fresh fish from the fishing boats a few bays away. We got fresh Mahi Mahi and some yellowfin tuna for sashimi. Wow, what a food day!
