The purpose of this blog is to stay connected with my friends and family while I transition from Delaware to Maryland to Uganda and beyond. I'd like to use this forum to share my experiences and record my adventures while serving as an Economic Development Volunteer in the Peace Corps.

Thanksgiving

Gobble, gobble. I had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving with my Peace Corps family in Kitgum. We made a pretty impressive meal, considering we had limited ingredients, 2 gas burners and one homemade outdoor oven.

Good friends, good food and good drinks were abundant, as were gracious thoughts and appreciation for the many blessings we're lucky enough to celebrate. So grateful to be an American sharing the experience of living in Uganda with such smart and fun people.

Mr. Gobbles' head. He was delicious.

Green bean casserole, rolls, mac n cheese, salad, stuffing, cranberry sauce , mashed potatoes, gravy and pie!

  2. Thanks for reminding us with your creativity & effort to reflect on how thankful most of us in America should be on how fortunate we are.

    1. My pleasure! Hope that I can bring this same sense of gratitude back to the US with me. It's easy to be appreciative here where you can't take most things for granted, but it's hard to keep up that mentality in the US!
