Rhod and Anna's World Adventure

Thursday was Thanksgiving in America. We were recently asked when we celebrated Thanksgiving in the UK. We tried to explain the harvest festival and putting tinned food in shoe boxes at school for the old people but we got some confused looks. We then explained that to our knowledge, even though history is not my strong point, there was not an event in the UK where some pilgrims thanked some natives for helping them get through the first year. Still it's not as silly a question as "When do you celebrate Independence day in the UK?" We replied with "Independence from who?" but what we should have said is "Any day when Will Smith saves the world!"

So we needed a Thanksgiving dinner but money is getting almost too tight to mention so we opted for the cheapest available in San Francisco; $15 in the italian restaurant. What could go wrong? Turkey, potatoes and spinach. When we got there there was a slight problem. There were no potatoes left so we got dry turkey, spinach and pasta penne in tomato sauce. I expect that we were the only people to have parmesan cheese with our Thanksgiving dinner. Needless to say it wasn't good but luckily we had been drinking and couldn't really taste it.
