The Great Turkey Hunt (Day 1)

Okay so Thursday is Thanksgiving and I am not about to forget it just because I am in Zambia! :) I've been planning out my thanksgiving menu for about a week or so now and today was the start of the hunt for our turkey. Yes, you can get them here in Zambia but it's not easy. There are some places in town and in the villages that raise turkeys but sometimes they are not always willing to sell them (Yes, you buy them alive and have to kill them yourself). We found one today for $30 and it was a whopping 25 pund turkey. That's a lot of turkey for 4 people. Needless to say, the hunt shall continue tomorrow. We did happen to order a pumpkin pie from the bakery in town and are also on the hunt for sweet potatoes and celery. Some things are not so easy to come by but it will be a great thanksgiving nonetheless. :)
