Happy Thanksgiving from Malaysia. Linda and I went online and found this cute little "vegetable turkey". So we created it and set some ranch dip next to it. Our elders would not touch the vegetable turkey because it looked so cute. That was the only thing they didn't touch though. This year, we were able to get a nice large turkey from Singapore and we made our traditional "Moroni Turkey" in marinated soy sauce, 7 Up and oil, with some garlic and horseradish added. So good! It was a big hit.
Linda made a cherry pie, an apple pie and two pumpkin pies the night before and my job was to cut off all the turkey to marinate it. We had mashed potatoes and filling, green beans, candied carrots, cranberry sauce and rolls, lots of veggies and dip and tons of marinated turkey. Everything turned out just perfect and we only missed having yams this year. We were greatly blessed to have our 8 elders over for Thanksgiving. I still can't wait for 1% WalMart milk with my pie. I can't stand any of the shelf milk here. It's all powdered tasting to me.
Here's another shot of our little group in the JB District. Four Chinese speaking elders and 4 bahasa speaking elders. Right after we were all done cleaning up and doing the dishes, the two AP's (assistants to the president) showed up at our door and hoped that we had some food left over. We knew they were coming and put away a plate for each of them. Elder Wadsworth is one of the new AP's. He was with us here a year ago and we loved serving with him in JB. The whole group is coming back later tonight to finish up the pie and anything else they can find.
