Thanksgiving!

Since Paddington wasn't able to celebrate in the normal tradition at home with his family, he and his Princeton friends cooked Thanksgiving dinner for their Peruvian host families. It was a great night of food and friendship!

Paddington with the most important part of the night: the desserts made with canned pumpkin brought all the way from the U.S.


Paddington with the two normal turkeys al estillo Peruano (Peruvian style) after being cooked in the community oven for over five hours.


Some of the sweet potato dishes. This was one of the easiest menu items to prepare as camote is a very popular Peruvian food.


And lets not forget the massive amount of dishes left after a successful party of over 30 people.

  1. That was really mean to make Paddington do all the dishes--he looks quite dispirited... Party on, Paddington!

  2. It was great to see that you all still got to have a Thanksgiving feast, even though we missed you at the table (and elsewhere!). You seem to be really serving the community and becoming a part of the community as well. So proud of you!
