Thanksgiving in the DR

Around Thanksgiving time people often ask me if I celebrate it in the Dominican Republic and the answer is YES.
This year was especially gratifying as I had three Americans with me at that time.

My guests were Patrick Ferree and his adopted son Yeison, who is from the DR, and our Peace Corp Volunteer Alicia Manteiga, recently recovered from a bad case of Dengue.
I cooked the turkey with dressing and the rest of the fixings with the help of Chicita. We had an American imported turkey and Patrick brought the cranberry sauce and the dry stuffing mix from the US. All in all it was a very satisfying meal and day.
