Thanksgiving

For years I've been doing Friendsgiving with cool people, always making green beans amandine. This year was no exception. I was invited to my friend Rebeca's house along with some classmates and her Colombian extended family. Sarah came with me and our contributions to the pot luck were beans, rolls and turnovers. I think we earned our keep.

We were estimating 20 people so I did A LOT of beans.

Thirty rolls sounded like enough. Unfortunately, they weren't very good. 

We started making turnovers the night before and ate a dozen between the three roommates.

We went on a boat ride down the Intracoastal! Apparently manatees are pretty common. 

A quick view of what we saw.

There was a lot of dancing after eating was finished.
