Thanksgiving

This weekend was the 2nd Thanksgiving bash I've attended and I have to say the food & drink completely surpassed my expectations again.
We left Prague on Friday night with Duke to drive down to David's cottage in Southern CZ, where we joined up with David, Maureen & the others who had driven down already. Later we were joined by more friends from Prague and when Will joined on Saturday we had 18 for dinner.
Dinner was a collective effort of almost everyone in the house on Saturday although Tennille and I managed to escape with David & Martina to enjoy a walk in the woods.
Dinner included many different regional favourites as our different American friends added their own little bit to each of their recipes.
Jalapeno mash, meat stuffing, sweet potato pie... the list goes on and they all complemented the turkey & ham wonderfully.
Sitting up playing board & table games until the wee hours this morning, it brought home more than ever what a lovely bunch of people we have met and become friends with in Prague.
