Last Friday we had a seminar in Maebashi. It was riveting, as usual. However, the real excitement was afterward, when a big group of JETs got together for a belated Thanksgiving. I don't have too much to say. It was not bad. We had turkey (though it was dry), stuffing (though it tasted weird), mashed potatoes (perfect!), gravy, cranberry sauce (I don't eat these things...), so it was pretty legit. I don't think I was the only one, however, who was really holding out for pumpkin pie. That was, unfortunately, quite a disappointment. I don't think anyone gave the cook an actual pumpkin pie recipe so... we had kabocha/squash pie, not really resembling pumpkin pie in any way, shape, or form. I think that if they had had a real recipe, enough cinnamon and ginger could have made kabocha taste more like pumpkin but... c'est la vie. I am just glad I had my own pumpkin pie at home.
(Being dorky and enjoying our pie)
Cheers,
