Thanksgiving: Triolet style

How does one do Thanksgiving without an oven? Without turkey? Without pumpkin pie? Without cranberries in any form? Without a proper room to eat in? Without a table?

One improvises. 

I had posted something on our Facebook group's page a couple days earlier about organizing something, but honestly I wasn't sure it was going to work out. But it did :) And I'm really glad, it would have been depressing otherwise. All the Triolet people came out, most of us cooked something, and we ate in the hallway. Lots of chaos, lots of eating, even that cheesy "everyone go around and say what you're thankful for" thing. In short: we managed to have an (almost real) Thanksgiving. 

I cooked. And it was good. This never happens!






Very, very crowded







Vin? Vin? Anyone need more vin?


I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity to study abroad, to have met so many great people, and for all the life lessons it has given me. Who knew that seven years ago when I started taking French I was setting myself up for this? Its had its stressful moments, but not once have I regretted coming here.
