Greetings y'all!
We had the most wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving here in Singapore last week. We certainly missed our families on what is arguably one of the best holidays of the year, but had a lovely time celebrating with friends in the Little Red Dot.
Kicking things off on the actual Thanksgiving holiday, we hosted Michael's colleagues at our place for a casual American BBQ (we thrive at grilling, not full-blown Thanksgiving cuisine).
We haven't made much use of our upstairs 'fratio', but with the semi-cooler weather that comes with the rainy season, it was the perfect evening to break it in.
Grill-master Duvall :)
I unfortunately didn't get any photos from the gathering after the sun set, but we had a lovely evening eating good food, chatting and enjoying each others company. Humble brag: I like to boast that I am able to successfully host a dinner party without such modern necessities as a car, Costco membership and a dishwasher :-P
The rest of the weekend we were crazy busy bouncing between various activities, lunches and dinners. The highlight however was a proper Thanksgiving meal(!) on Saturday. This is sadly our third Thanksgiving away from home, so we were thrilled at the thought of turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie.
A huge thanks to our lovely friends and hosts. Do you have any idea how hard it is to put on a classic Thanksgiving spread, complete with a turkey, here in Singapore?! It takes weeks of planning and sourcing and she, and everyone else who brought dishes, absolutely nailed it.
Somehow Michael scored the honor of carving the turkey :)
Lovely group of ladies.
Cheese.
We finished off the weekend by grilling (some more) and relaxing at home. We are definitely needing some extra rest before we head home for the holidays. And let me tell you, I'm really looking forward to some cooler temps. I spent this afternoon sweating in 91 degree heat while shopping for Christmas gifts. Oye.
See y'all soon.
XO,
CD
