Turkey Day - Thanksgiving

Hola,

Thanksgiving in Spain is just another day, unless you are an American! Denis and Matt, two assistants in A Coruña, organized a Thanksgiving that we celebrated this past Saturday. It was fantastic! There were approximately 25 of us. Just like a traditional Thanksgiving we had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, pumpkin pie, apple pie, fudge pie, pistachio marshmallow, and so much more. Also in traditional style we had so much more food than we needed. Two turkeys were ordered because it is not common here to eat turkey and you can't find it easily in the markets. Two were ordered because we were told that they would be a bit smaller than in the United States. Well, it turned out they were about the same size and we had more than what was needed.

It was a festive occasion, one that will be remembered for a lifetime; new friends, excellent food, and fun had by all. Much thanks to Denis and Matt for organizing this event.

I will be thinking of all of my family and friends state side that will be celebrating today. Enjoy the food, the football, the company, all of it. I wish I could be there. Speaking of being there... I am coming home for the Holidays! (Christmas and New Year's) I am so excited to see all your smiling faces again!

This marks the beginning of the Holiday Season, so why not start on a festive note; listen to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" Here is a link:
