The Thanksgiving Post

You'd think that it would be impossible to get a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings in China, but not so!  Luckily for us, The Bridge Cafe (one of our favorite coffee shops) was hosting a by-reservation-only Thanksgiving dinner for about $30 USD per person.  I don't remember the entire menu, but the meal included roasted turkey, honey-baked ham, scalloped corn, mashed potatoes and turkey gravy, stuffing, chef salad, fruit salad, cranberry sauce, red wine, garlic bread, green beans, candied sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, apple pie, coffee and tea.  Ok, maybe I do remember the entire menu.  :)  I'm also happy to report that the food was all very tasty.  Here's how Beijing does Thanksgiving:

Red table cloths, just like the ones the Pilgrims had

Table for two

Me and Cyclops

First glass of wine in three months!
