Adventure #41
Despite living abroad for four out of the last five Thanksgivings, I have never gone without some succulent turkey on America's delightful holiday of gluttony and gratitude. This year, Mike and I joined our Coloradan friends, Dana and Stephen, at an American woman's home who works for the US Embassy. She prepared a huge feast including a juicy bird that Mike and Stephen were volunteered to carve. The guests - mostly Europeans - made amazingly genuine American offerings including Mike's favorite, Sweet Potato Pie.
I whipped up some deviled eggs and cookies for the occasion, which distracted me from work most of the holiday. It was a great blessing to be among wonderful friends and to enjoy a delicious meal together. Here's hoping that next year, Mike and I will enjoy our first turkey day together on American soil. If we don't, it's sure nice to know that the spirit of Thanksgiving transcends US borders.
