For the second time in my life, I've not been home for Thanksgiving.
In 2008 I had Thanksgiving in London, with James and Haith at Wagamama, around the corner from the London Eye.
And this year, 2011, I was in Korea.
Really, Thanksgiving at home is just a big, BIG meal, that my family eats in our formal dining room. It used to be a little bit more - traveling to see family, all the relatives getting together - but then people got older, people left, planning a date got complicated by multiple schedules and activities, and soon it was just the Reddings stuffing themselves with turkey and Waldorf at home.
Not a bad way to spend the day though.
And not a bad tradition to extend to friends in Korea who do not know the joys of over-eating on Thanksgiving!!
On November 19th, the 1st Annual SK Thanksgiving Potluck Extravaganza was held! 20 people gathered together in a Korean-sized apartment, eating tasty treats and dishes they made to share (that's what potluck means for those that don't know).
The food, drinks and evening were a great substitute for not being at home. And a great start to hopefully a lasting tradition here.
