for Thanksgiving lunch with my family.

A cultural immersion experience for them, that the College of Textiles has facilitated for foreign exchange students.
I'm actually kind of excited.

Yeah, they have it in Japan too but that doesn't mean it's anything remotely close to our Thanksgiving

11/26/2008 9:49:04 PM

for some reason i thought this was going to about feathers, not dots, seeing how as they were at the first thanksgiving and all.

11/26/2008 9:51:54 PM

do you know their eating habits?

are they veg?

11/26/2008 9:55:18 PM

Such vitriol

^Already looked into that. Was assured they'll eat whatever's given to them; no food allergies or dietary restrictions.

that sounds awesome! are you making pumpkin pie??

11/26/2008 9:58:24 PM

weird.

i've never met an indian with no dietary restrictions, of some kind... the level varies as you'd expect.

and i've spent a whole lot of time with indians the last few years.

11/26/2008 9:58:32 PM

wish I knew about this earlier, I would do it for sure!

11/26/2008 9:59:20 PM

Sooo are they dot or headdress?

That's pretty shitty of them to wait so long to inform you. Most people have already started their shopping for Thanksgiving by then.

You gotta do pumpkin pie!!

It wasn't the students who waited so long.
It was a faculty member. Surprise

11/26/2008 10:05:04 PM

lol, yeah that's what I meant. I figured it was faculty and not the students

11/26/2008 10:06:42 PM

Dots not feathers.

11/26/2008 10:07:03 PM

It's very likely they know more about American culture than you might realize, so if you are not already planning to do this, I would treat them like they know what's going on, until they look confused, to avoid making it seem like you're talking down or mocking them.

11/26/2008 10:57:18 PM

have a nice pow wow

This guy from south india will burn bridges over barbecue preferences.

I don't care for people who hate on eastern NC barbecue.

11/27/2008 8:52:50 AM

I have had mashed potatoes they are ok but i like half mashed

I have never tried cranberry sauce

I ll wait for next thanksgiving and 'd like to join ambrosia1231's family

and I even forgot we usually make a few vegetable side dishes like corn, green beans, and asparagus

stuffing varies a lot from family to family. It's a baked dish with soft crumbled bread and usually vegetables and butter. Other than that, people put just about anything in there. We do a vegetarian stuffing but you'll often find sausage or other meat. It's called "stuffing" because in the old days, you would stuff the turkey with it before baking. Most people don't do that anymore, just bake it separately.

11/27/2008 9:09:02 AM

I love corn and green beans (have some green beans in my kitchen but dont know what to with them my mom used to cook something with green beans and potatoes, i'll try to call her and find out)

where do you live
why dint we discuss it earlier
tell your mom i'd love to eat whatever she cooks
