i thought i should document the thanksgiving dinner we cooked this year. i'm not in the pics, though. sorry!
glazed carrots: hungarians don't get this. they think carrots are only good if they're salted or buttered. a won a few of them over, though. ;)
my first ever batch of dressing... left half was made by a hungarian and has liver and sausage in it. the other half was my half and was just simple stuffing minus the celery (cause we didn't buy it)
gravy! this is a foreign thing here but was well-received. someone even asked for the recipe! haha
the birds!
we didn't have the energy to make a real apple pie, so i just did the filling and served it like that. no complaints.
(not pictured: green beans, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob)
there were like 15 - 18 people there, 2 americans and a bunch of hungarians. we ate and drank (palinka) and were merry. there were also cakes made by the receptionist and stuffed cabbage brought by the matriarch of the magic house family. not exactly the thanksgiving i grew up with, but it was still pretty great!

Hi Christie,
We would like to speak to you about working (paid, of course) as a teacher for our English camps this summer if you will still be around. You would be ideal, speaking English and Hungarian.
The camps run during the school holidays, and we had one of the CETP teachers before. Please reply as soon as possible to barryjirvine at gmail . com if you are interested in doing a week or two. Everything is being set-up now, but you can look at the site below and see where we are.
Our site is www.anyanyelvi.hu.
Thanks,
Barry
