Wow what a week it's been! I've been battling a cough and the flu this week and ended up taking today off so I could recover before next Monday. I only have two more weeks of school before my Christmas holiday!
Anyways while all you Americans were enjoying time off of work yesterday, I had to stick with my normal routine! Thanksgiving but still a normal school day for me. After work, I came straight home to meet Adam and cook a Thanksgiving meal here (London style). Christmas dinners here are absolutely huge - that's when they do their turkeys, stuffing, and all the fixings. SO I wasn't able to find a turkey to cook. That was okay though. I ended up getting a roast chicken that had sage and onion stuffing (so yummy!); all the things for green bean casserole, roast potatoes, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash. For dessert, we made a pumpkin pie.

| yes I put post-it notes on each thing with how long they needed to cook and at what temperature! didn't want anything to burn... |

Are you drooling yet? It was SO good! It was nice to have a bit of home here in London. I also got to Skype with my mom and dad, cousins, aunts, and grandparents last night! What a treat. Yesterday, we took our students to the British Museum for the day. I am really thankful for my job. I feel incredibly lucky to work with such a great group of kids.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I've been doing a little Black Friday shopping this afternoon online...I'm sure all of you people back in the US have been doing the same today!
