Here is the calm before the storm. On Tuesday November 23, we had 45 people to our dorm to enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving feast.
As a staff, we started to prepare for this event three days before it took place...we had quite a bit of cooking to do. I was able to make the potatoes. Here I am using our giant mixer to mash up some yummyness!
Stephanie (dorm mom) and myself worked on cooking 4 turkeys. Here she is in the basting process. We had to borrow the oven from the dorm upstairs, so every time we needed to check on the turkeys we had to go up 3 flights of stairs!
The birds looked wonderful and tasted great. We used apples, oranges, and onions to flavor the birds.
Luke (dorm dad) is now carving the birds. This took a bit of time since there were four of them, but in the end, it was worth the wait.
Taylor (other RA) manned the oven and made sure everything was hot and ready to eat on time!
The blessed event began with Luke telling everyone why he was thankful to the Lord. We ate our fill, had lots of laughs, and just enjoyed the wonderful environment.
The girls really enjoyed the food. We had at least three girls who were able to experience their first Thanksgiving.
