I celebrated Thanksgiving with the other foreign teachers in our apartment complex. We tried the best we could to prepare an authentic Thanksgiving dinner, which was no easy task. Our 'kitchens' aren't really equipped for cooking, so we had to pool our resources. Also Chinese do not eat turkey, which made it very difficult to find. We were able to buy one at a foreign supermarket...it was 180RMB for an 8lb bird.
COOKING THE MEAL
