Thanksgiving activities
We had some fun over the thanksgiving weekend. Cooked the Turkey American style and a whole chicken Indian style. Both came in very well and yummy.
I think we will try these few more times......
Also went to the black Friday sale for the first time in last 7 years... went to Walmart and BestBuy. Purchased some electronics and its fun and scarry to see how people rush for products on sale. Reminded me of how we used to buy movie tickets on the first day first show.... :)
Hope you all had good Thanksgiving weekend as well..... comments welcome.....

Just starting a blog on Indian community in and around Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids the fastest growing city in Michigan seems to be attracting quite a bit of Indians into the area in recent times. This is very positive for the Indian community in the area. I started this blog to furnish details to fellow Indians visiting or moving into and around Grand Rapids with information regarding local Indian community.
I look forward to your comments.
