Thanksgiving Banquet
There are so many things to be thankful of in this life. It is myriad and giving thanks each day is good deed that can be cherished and be treasured. The food we eat everyday, the air we breath, the shelter that protects us, the clothing we have, the good friends we have and all the opportunities, blessings and graces that we received everyday, are some of the things that we must be thankful off. Thank you dear Lord most especially for the gift of life and the chance to see the beauty of this world.
That is why last November 22, 2012, I was invited by some American friends to join their Thanksgiving banquet. This is quite a late post but I always believed in the saying, “Better Late Than Never”.

Imagine to attend 3 parties in a day?? Wow, I always forget the word diet anyway when it comes to party. Besides I love food and I love to eat..hmmm..Not really good for me.
The first meal was a lunch date with good friends who invited me in a Thanksgiving lunch inside the the nearby US Base. We were quite early as we went there but all the wait was paid when we tasted all the sumptuous food in that buffet. I remembered the millions of people who don’t have food to eat everyday. I made it sure that I eat all of my food and don’t waste it. I just feel sad when someone is throwing food and a lot are dying due to hunger.
Without further adieu, there are a lot of foods that were served from seafood to meat, salads, drinks, pastries, desserts, fruits, vegetables and many many more! More food photos here.
