I'm staying in Edinburgh, Scotland with my sister Leah who has lived here for 13 years. Last night, we had a small dinner party with two other ladies whom I hadn't met before. We made roasted, whole BBQ chicken using this modified recipe - I did not use Stove Top Stuffing, nor Kraft BBQ sauce. I also only cooked the chicken for 1 hour and 15 minutes), romanesco, beet root with onion, pan fried brussels sprouts with balsamic, and beer bread (a batter mix that you just add beer to - genius!).

Thanksgiving isn't a holiday here, but as we set the table, we realized that we had made somewhat of a T-day feast. Our guests were pleased and so were we. As we savored each course, we talked about working for government and engaging citizens through digital media, as well as what we want to be when we grow up :) Oh, and there was wine, baklava and mince pie for dessert.
