The Menu

Pin it

After reading Mid-Atlantic English‘s blog, I realized I have way underestimated the task I am about to partake in.

Michelle has actually ordered things online! Shit. How am I possibly going to make pumpkin pie?

And she ordered a Turkey! Am I supposed to do that?

This is the list of menu items I sent out to my helpful friends. So, other expats – what won’t I be able to find here?

Tableware – (we don’t have enough. Help!)

Thanksgiving Menu:
Turkey – Me
Stuffing (In the Turkey) – Me
Stuffing (Out of the Turkey) -
Gravy – Me
Cranberry Sauce or Relish-
Sweet Potatoes – Me
Mashed Potatoes -
Bread Rolls and Butter

Thanksgiving Sides:
Green Bean Casserole -
Creamed Spinach -
Cheese Cauliflower -
Glazed Carrots -

Dessert:
Minced Meat Pie (with hard sauce) – Me
Pumpkin Pie – Me

Optional Desserts:
Pecan Pie -
Apple Pie-
Ice Cream -
Drinks:
Beer – Jock
Cider – Jock
Red Wine – (We’ll have four or five bottles, but if some people could bring a bottle as well, that would be great)

    Thanks Melissa. I think now that I've made a list of what I need to do, have found a turkey (most were stockpiled for Christmas and was hard to find anyone willing to give up their turkey! These are the times I miss home. But it's all a big adventure!)

    Charlie, think that's Christmas. Haha. We're gonna bring out the poitin and whiskey!

      Haha. Don't know if I could handle not serving fast food on styrofoam though.

    Oh, wish I could help, but I'll be eating our Thanksgiving dinner at a hotel. It's safer for everyone. Have a great time!

      I ordered my pumpkin off ebay like you did, and my boyfriend had a cow when he found out 3 jars cost £10! I don't blame him. That is a bit ridiculous for pumpkin – oh well, it's worth it! hee.
