I just wanted to thank you all for ALL your support. First, financially. And second, all your prayers, blog comments, and facebook messages. They seriously keep me going. Here in Romania, we’re experiencing some lovely COLD weather, so here are some pictures of our Romanian November. But first, Thanksgiving!
Linsdey and I just spent the morning cooking for 19 Americans, 2 Brits, and a Canadian.
On a budget of $65.
And we pulled off…
2 Chickens
Homemade cranberry sauce, made from CRAISINS.
(it actually worked!)
Green Bean Casserole
Mashed Potatoes
