thanksgiving among the indians

thanksgiving, originally uploaded by seamonkeylifeboat.

complete with dogs underfoot, startlingly charming children, a lovely toast by rohan, flowers, just enough food to be too much (yayy, leftovers!!!) and choice of 3 deserts.
it all pulled together at the last moment to be a good thanksgiving. raja and raju, rohans cook and driver, were very impressed by the looks of the 'big chicken" (actually a medium small turkey) but not so impressed with the taste (lacking in spice). i tried to explain what a turkey was and was met with big eyes and laughter. perhaps my mimes of massive bird size, fan tail, and wobbly chin thing (what is that called, anyway?) were not enhanced by the wine and whiskey.
hmm
