A few days before Thanksgiving, Scott reported that the mess hall (cafeteria) was advertising a "Hawaiian Thanksgiving"--not a turkey, giblet, or cranberry on the menu! When it came time to head to lunch, he and his roommate decided they just couldn't replace cranberries with pineapple and gravy with poi. They started a pilgrimage, if you will, for a more traditional dinner.
There are five mess halls on base and each serves their own menu from day to day, meal to meal. They decided to walk from hall to hall until they found one staffed by people who knew what Thanksgiving is about. They eventually found it complete with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, even green beans with almonds! But, alas, there was no cranberry relish. Thus became the quest for their evening meal! I never heard if they found it.
Just in case, I had sent a Thanksgiving-in-a-box:
Turkey Jerky
Sweet Potato Chips
Craisins
Pumpkin Muffins
It wasn't really anything like the real deal but I figured if he had been in the field, it would have been better than a Swiss steak MRE!
We hope your Thanksgiving was blessed. We have much to be thankful for including your love, support, and most of all, your prayers! Thanks!
