An Aussie Thanksgiving

Hello once again, I am back to report more from the exciting city of Kuwait. The only place where you can find in the local newspaper that someone has been arrested for suspicion of having fun! (no joke)! Thankfully I have not been in trouble for doing any such thing although I must admit I am guilty of having fun this past week! As some of you will know November 24 was the American Holiday Thanksgiving and since Steve's girlfriend Sherry is a Yank we Aussies decide to help her celebrate Thanksgiving....oh and her birthday which was on the Friday!
Ted who was so kind to invite us all around to his place on the Friday avro to have a few beverages (which Ted does a fantastic job of brewing himself) and to gorge our selves on Turkey, Lamb, Fish and baked potatoes and lots lots more. We were also introduced to the American favorite Pumpkin Pie, which I must say was actually really yummy...I was very impressed. Ted also showed his culinary skills by making Sherry a Pavlova birthday cake! Oh and I think one of the highlights of the night was the Tim Tams hoo ray!!! Which they are now selling at the Sultan Centre (the supermarket where most westerners shop).
All in all it was a fab night, great to get together with every one again and to catch up on the bitching about life in Kuwait. Below are some pics from the night so you can see who all my fab new mates are. Get my car this week which is very exciting so hopefully will be scooting around taking plenty more photos for you all to enjoy. Keep the emails coming love to get them.
Enjoy.......
Mads and Sherry!
