Thanksgiving Dinner (lunch) in the village with our friend Nora visiting.

Everyone got out their best clothes for the end of Ramadan holiday.

This is just part of the family next door.

These are two of the men Andy hangs out with in the village.

We found two live turkeys for sale in the village.

A little hot water helped with plucking the feathers.

We got one turkey to share with friends and one for our own dinner.

Andy showed how we wanted our turkey cut.

The other turkey got divided into about 12 different piles, wrapped in leaves and sent off to the chief, friends and families we know in the village.

We decided to try deep frying the turkey in peanut oil since we don't have an oven.

Andy tied up the turkey with wire to rotate and get it out of the hot oil. It was done in about 40 minutes.

Since the oil was already hot after the turkey, we made fries from yams.

We had deep fried turkey, yam fries with tomatoe sauce and green beans.
