My fellow FSD interns and I, with the help of our Ugandan and Western friends, managed to have a delicious Thanksgiving feast with all the fixings. It was a bit of a challenge to work out all of the logistics of preparing the meal, and the entire time we were cooking we were never sure the whole meal wouldn't be a disaster since not one of us had ever been in charge of preparing an entire turkey dinner before. We had a lot of fun guessing the answers to such questions as "which turkey organ is this, and should we use it to make the broth?", "which hole in this bird do we stuff?", and "how the hell do we carve this thing?"
At one point during the day the power went out which commonly occurs, and for hours at a time, in this corner of the world. Luckily, since our turkey was roasting in an electric oven, the power was gone for only about 15 minutes.

In the end everything came out spectacularly. Well, maybe all the food wasn't perfect, but we were certainly suprised at how well we did.
Everyone enjoying the meal
