So we recently went to a Mongolian BBQ for one of our friends (Jon who you may have met at our wedding) who is moving to London for work. As you can see it's quite the experience. Basically you make your own meal with a variety of wacky ingredients, and they provide some recipes you can try (beside me in the picture. The meats are probably the most wacky - if you click on the picture you should be able to read it.
Alyson and I both tried Camel and Wild Boar! Once you choose your meat and other recipes, you put it all together (including spices) in a bowl - like I'm holding - and then give it to the chef. He then cooks the whole bowl on a gigantic hot plate (along with everyone else's).
We also recently went out to dinner with my family in Perth for my oldest brother Neil's birthday. This managed to successfully coincide with an Aberdeen football match (we're good at making things work like that!). Alyson, Maggie, and my mum went to Tullibody to play with Emma and Michael, while Neil, my dad, and I went to the football then came to Edinburgh. As Alyson may have mentioned, everyone then came to Edinburgh for church the next day. I had the [mis]fortune to be set apart as 2nd cllr in the bishopric in our ward. I'm still not quite sure what to make of it.
Last week we also had the opportunity to celebrate thanksgiving with some other Americans in our ward. It was an interesting experience trying to coordinate but worked out alright in the end. There are about 10 Americans in the ward at the moment.
