Even in the midst of a London November, my three, fellow American roommates and I decided it wouldn't be right if we didn't even attempt to have a Thanksgiving dinner. Our flat was located off of the Middle Eastern mecca of London- Edgware Road, so finding ingredients was a bit tricky, but do-able. It was a completely new Thanksgiving than I have ever had, since I was used to my parents traditional dinner. Never before has my Thanksgiving dinner involved cupcakes, boiled eggs or macaroni and cheese, but despite the new foods- I managed to throw in some traditional turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans and homemade stuffing. Pumpkin pie has always been a staple at our holiday dinner, but the lack of pie pans proved to be somewhat of a challenge. A muffin tin worked as best it could to make twelve individual pumpkin pies, which were delicious and adorable at the same time! Coming from Martha's Vineyard, I have been spoiled with the decadence of scallops and bacon, so it was a must for my appetizer. For our guests who had never tried the tiny morsels, they were a huge hit, prompting the whole crew to ask if they could come to the island and try some fresh scallops this summer.
