• Late report on Thanksgiving

  
  

  

  
  

  This is the Thanksgiving table I ate at.  I called it the “neverending dosterhon”(dosterhon=table in Uzbek).  We had chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and passed around a very SMALL dish of cranberry sauce (which we don’t have here).  There were about 40 people, including about 20 kids!  Mostly Americans, but a few non-Americans as well. Mostly families, but some singles as well!  We listened to the Thanksgiving story (which I had forgotten/or never knew), sang some old-school songs, and then played some fun games, including Scrabble and Dutch Blitz (aka Snertz).    By the way, Dutch Blitz is an awesome game that everyone should play. And FU-GED-DABOUT playing this game with regular cards, which most people do – you gotta get the Dutch cards!  Awesome. 

  
  

  

  
  

  Finally, I’m thankful (besides family, friends, health)….
