Thanksgiving, American-Style today. What started out as a small gathering for seven people ended up being a much larger affair with about 15 of us in the end. In addition to the ham my parents did (quiz: how many hours is 195 minutes?), one of the guests managed to bring an entire Thanksgiving on their own — turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, and cheesecake.

It was an international affair, with less than half the guests actually being American.
