CELEBRATE A LITTLE

Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans of our campus. This is the time of year in Ireland where shoppers are flooding the streets for one sale or another. Christmas lights have been up since before Halloween decorations in some cases, and it's little wonder as the days grow colder and the nights fall earlier. So what better than to throw up some sparkling lights, and what else... eat far too much!

Thanksgiving is traditionally a turkey dinner. You will never forget this turkey will you?

But come on, we are all busy, poor, and would rather spend our time and money on shopping for the holidays. So let's look at some alternate dishes you might want to make that are cheap, easy, take under an hour, and are healthy to boot.
