After having Blue, our grandpuppy for the past two weeks, Heather came for the holiday and you can see how happy he was to see his Mommy!
What an experience to cook a Thanksgiving meal here in the UAE! Kim and Heather shopped over a period of weeks in many different stores, trying to find different ingredients.
They finally managed to buy enough items and substitutions to put together a close approximation of a REAL Thanksgiving meal!!! We had to use "Cornbread Croutons" instead of cornbread to make the dressing. We also used liquid whipping cream (which had to be beat for about 20 minutes and then add sugar and vanilla) to make the Watergate Salad. Heather found sweet potatoes for a souffle and cranberry sauce. Here's our final product:
Cory, unfortunately, had to work, so we sent him a load of leftovers.
