Good morning, and Happy Thanksgiving! It's just an ordinary Thursday here in England, but I've got my out of office auto-reply on for the next 2 days. It doesn't feel quite right, though, and I think a big part of it has to do with yesterday. Jason observed that even stranger than how much it doesn't feel like Thanksgiving time, it definitely didn't feel like the day before Thanksgiving yesterday! On that Wednesday, we're always home, or traveling with the crowds, or if we're in the office there's a sense of anticipation of a long weekend and the real start of the Christmas season.
Well, since we can't find all that here, we might as well go somewhere else where it won't be either, so this afternoon we're taking off for Lisbon. However, since Thanksgiving is Jason's favourite holiday (and I'm a sucker for tradition), we made our Thanksgiving meal on Sunday.
Menu, Mini-Thanksgiving at the Willeys'
- Whole roasted chicken
- Bread stuffing
- Half-skins on mashed potatoes
- Orange-cranberry sauce
- Maple roasted butternut squash
- Green beans with mushrooms + shallots
- Gravy
- Apple pie
All home-made! We had the leftovers Tuesday, and I polished off the leftover leftovers in a sandwich yesterday (oh, and we finished the pie last night too!).
We hope everyone back home is enjoying time spent with family and friends, and eating a feast at least as tasty as ours!!
Gobble gobble gobble...
