As we are amongst many friends of American nationality, it seemed only natural that we joined them for one of their favourite holidays...Thanksgiving. We all booked into a local restaurant called The Blue Plate for our Thanksgiving meal. It made life a lot easier not having to cook or clean up afterwards! Though, I'm sure it's all wonderful bonding time! Jono and I joined Katie, Joe and Luci on a small table.
The spread of food at the buffet was magnificent including macaroni and cheese, caramelised potato, green salad, chili con carne, stuffing, chicken stew, mashed potato, pumpkin and no feast is complete without a turkey and cranberry sauce. It was scrumptious. During our meal we went around the table and discussed the things we were all thankful for...such as family, friends and the awesome experiences we've had over the year in Japan. It is a really nice holiday and I wish we had a holiday of our own like this in Australia, a non-commercial holiday and a chance just to hang with family and friends over great food.
