The presence of almost 30 Americans at UCCR Brig this term inspired an `International Thanksgiving Feast`. The Thanksgiving holiday represents the Pilgrims first harvest in the new land, on this day, Americans give thanks for all they have throughout the year… this is a day when the rapid American lifestyle takes a break, and families gather to enjoy each others company and have a dinner together.

In Brig, the traditional thanksgiving dinner staples of Roast Turkey, Cranberry Sauce, and Pumpkin Pie were a bit hard to come by, but with the help of the UCCR kitchen, and a bit of creativity from the participants, the evening was flawless.
The main attractions of the meal were the turkey breasts roasted to perfection by Charmaine, the cranberry sauce, Olga’s breathtaking apple pies, and Jamie’s spiked apple cider.

The kitchen was filled with a tantalizing aroma all day. Everyone who participated enjoyed the meal, and left the table with a full belly, and a smile. Thank you to all who worked so hard to make this evening a success!
