On the 23rd, Mallory and I cooked Thanksgiving for Jorgen and is family! At first, we were told by Jorgen it would only be us and him, so we figured we could handle it. A day before, he invited the whole family over which was 10 people total... Me, Mallory, Jorgen, Else, Brian, Tina, Silje, Signe, Casper, and our friend Nina joined us. We went shopping the day before, which is not an easy thing to do when you're trying to find all American foods. We were out of luck finding cranberry sauce, but after about an hour of searching we found everything else for the meal.
With my cooking background (nothing), I had it in my head that this would be a major fail; we would burn the turkey, serve cold food, or mess up the stuffing somehow. But after a whole day of cooking, it turned out to be a huge success! We had turkey, carrots, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, rolls, and apple crisp with ice cream for dessert. The family loved everything, I have no clue how we pulled it off. Although it was no Thanksgiving in America with my family, we had such a fun day cooking with Jorgen and eating with the family. I'll never forget our Thanksgiving in Copenhagen!
