Football and a Feast

I haven't been on American soil on Thanksgiving Day in over five years, and yet I always seem to be surrounded by many friends and too much food on my favorite holiday. This year was no different, though I did much of the planning and cooking. With the help of a few friends, we prepared quite a feast of turkey (the first I have ever cooked), gravy, mashed potatoes, mashed maple syrup-cajun sweet potatoes (delicious), cranberry sauce, fresh baked bread, mac & cheese, green beans, salad, pumpkin pies, and the oh-so special spam rice balls (you think I'm kidding but they're fantastic).

Before the meal however, we went down to the riverside and played some good 'ol two hand touch American Football. A fine day, a beautiful playing field, and countless perfect passes and defensive plays from both sides. However, despite what the lying, cheaters on the other team will tell you, my own squad was the actual victor.
