Harvest Time

The picture on the left was taken from the header (combine) I've been operating for work. Farming has been a great experience, and something I've always wanted to try. The two farmers I've been working for have been great teachers and very patient with me as I learn. The other picture is me after working a 12 hour day. Somehow I always seem to get very dirty!!!!

More Thanksgiving pictures.

As you can see it was a very nice day for our celebration. Honesty, I think the temperature was near 75 degrees F.

I highly recommend that everyone look into deep frying a turkey. It tasted so good, and kept our oven free to cook everything else!!!

Thanksgiving in Australia

Hello everyone, sorry it has been so long since my last post. Harvest season has kept me very busy. Anyway, two weekends ago, Heidi and I entertained 15 of our friends to a traditional Thanksgiving day feast. We cooked ham, sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows (which Australian's have never had), green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, cranberries, and I deep fried a turkey. All in all everyone was very impressed and had a great day. Oh yeah, on top of everyone bringing a few cocktails of their own we also went through 27 bottles of my home brew. Each bottle contains 750 mL of booze, so you do the math!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
