Pumpkin cheesecake
Well we all know that Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, but here at the South Pole we celebrated on Saturday. The community had a two day weekend, and the dinning hall was all decked out for the occasion. Now being that food is always an abundance down here and we are more likely to die of obesity then the cold, your choices for the holiday meal ranged from baked turkey, roasted turkey, crab lakes, three veggies, two vegetarian dishes, bread rolls, biscuits, cheese platters, patti, vegetable platter, salad, and 8 different types of dessert. We all were present to make sure the celebration when off without a hitch and some dressed up for the festivities.

The feast, for it was not a meal, but something grander, lasted for two hours and we all got to join in together once everyone had settled down. The food, oh the food, was far to good, and far too much.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone back home. I miss you! Love, Hugs and God Bless!
Here are some very delicious photos of my Thanksgiving in Antarctica.
Pastry Skuas
Bread in a Box - we don't do things the ordinary way
Dave was not impressed, he wanted his rolls warm. Can't have everything Dave!
Stuffed Peppers
Crab Legs as long as your arm. Where were those crabs from?
