Mysteriously, we were required to listen to the extended version of Alice's Restaurant! Some of the guests wore feathered headbands!

Thanksgiving
Our American friends had a Thanksgiving celebration and invited us to feast with them. We made a bread cornucopia overflowing with vegetables, and an apple, berry and plum pie decorated with pastry leaves.
It was some feast!

Kia ora Robert,
As an expat Yank Thanksgiving is a holiday I still miss the most in terms of longing for my family and friends back there, and what is mostly just a day of being with each other. Can't say I recall ever listening to Arlo and Alice's Restaurant on the day - but it certainly is a way to pass a fair bit of time :) - Happy Thanksgiving.
Cheers,
Robb
Those were impressive pieces of soft-tech, Bio.
Robb - our host pointed out that the famous 18 minutes of erased tape that was part of Richard Nixon's downfall, matches exactly the length of Arlo's song.
My family and I were invited over to a Tongan 21st birthday celebration on Saturday.
I was nervous at first but my timidness was quickly overcome with the most amazing hospitality.
The 21st birthday is a huge deal to Tongan people, especially back in Tonga I am told.
The food was amazing! and the Tongan ladies kept bringing me more and insisted we take a heap home with us.
I am glad I got over myself and went along!!
Bet you put on a pound or two, Shunda!
Good fun, eh, those cross-cultural hakari!
There isnt an extended mix of the great Alices Restaurant song, they are all long.
If you want a short Arlo song, check out 'the pickle song' (motorcycle song) - back when music was just that!
