Thanksgiving! (or close enough)

 

   Week 49

This week Craig continued his tradition of organizing a school-wide potluck to celebrate the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving. The feast had to be delayed a week due to Art's final exam, but there was enough delicious food that no one cared too much about such details. Nearly everyone in the school brought something, from Craig's staple Chicken Pot Pie and Michael's Malaysian chicken skewers, to Christiaan's cheese rolls made with Vegemite and Joan's Tortilla de Patatas. Even Henrik made traditional Swedish Gubbröra.
