Answer: An entire Thanksgiving Meal! Substitute the turkey with chicken breasts in a white wine sauce with mixed herbs, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, deviled eggs, and courtesy of Costco, a pumpkin pie!
All thanks to my amazing friend Erin, with ambition and determination and a little bit of luck, we pulled off an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, complete with hand turkey decorations and western tableware.

| This was the only package we could find knives in. Only shortly before dinner we discovered that the knife was about as useful as a candle with no matches. |
Our meal also included a bottle of Sonoma Valley wine my new co-worker Josh brought with him. He was gracious enough to share it with us on this fine occasion.
For dessert, we had the most delicious pumpkin pie. What is good pumpkin pie without a little whip cream? It was almost plenty good when we discovered that the can of ReadyWhip cost 15,000 won which is roughly $15. But then you would be underestimating our ingenuity. Erin purchased a few cartons of whipping cream, to which you add your own sugar, and whip for as long as your forearm holds out. [insert dirty joke here] The result is the same taste, with a somewhat different consistency.
All in all, it was a fabulous evening and a nice reminder of home, with some new friends. One of our Korean teachers, Christine, came over for the celebration. She was a good sport and tried all of our American food. Unless she was lying to us, I believe she enjoyed most of it.
