Well, it's about 2 weeks since we had our Thanksgiving dinner. We just finished eating that bird a few days ago! Now I know why Thanksgiving happens only once a year... who wants to eat turkey again for at least 6 months? Anyways, the celebration was a hit. Most of our Slovak friends hadn't ever seen (or tasted) a 'real' Thanksgiving meal. So, it was a bit 'exotic' for most and apparently enjoyed by all.You may have noticed the heading "SoulFood: Thanksgiving" Basically, we put this dinner together as part of a series of meals called SoulFood that we want to host. This first one was essentially for those who are a part of the Nitra fellowship with the simple aim of hanging out together. Future SoulFood culinary adventures will be opened to others. The basic idea is that we want to really try out this idea of opening up our lives as followers of Christ and just invite people into that life. That goes way beyond dragging someone into a church. We figure everyone likes to eat and possibly they may have other hungers as well - for friendship, spiritual nourishment, creative cooking ideas... whatever. So, we will try this experiment out and see what happens. Next on the menu is Jewish cuisine... in celebration of Hanukah! 7 wild and crazy nights! (condensed into 1 in our case :)
Enjoy the pics....
