[...] Thanksgiving is absolutely my favorite holiday. It’s all about giving thanks and eating–two of my favorite things. And while I *like* turkey, for me the stars of Thanksgiving are the side dishes. Love them. [...]

*Cheeky, thanks; we’ll still be having a feast one of these days, but I won’t do it without cranberry sauce. I just can’t

The table looks really beautiful and I admire how you are able to put your own twist on it, as you don’t have access to a few of the “traditional” food items. Makes it even more special to me.
P doesn’t know what he’s missing ….. no sweet potatoes or cranberry sauce. Sheesh! One day though.

Happy *belated* Thanksgiving to you and yours.

*Christine, isn’t it funny that I never really realized just how good my Thanksgivings have been until I stopped to think? Pays to stop and think!

The silverware is from P’s mom’s collection. The tines on most forks are too small for P’s liking, so these came with him

*Zandria, actually I postponed our feast since my cranberry sauce hasn’t showed up in the mail yet. But I’ll have my filling, sweet potatoes, and all the fixins someday soon!

I’m glad you’ll be having your own slice of American Thanksgiving over there in Italy. Hope you have a wonderful celebration!

You set a beautiful table. The cuttlery looks very European with the long handles. Elegant.

Your comment at the end about having no sad memories from Thanksgiving struck a chord with me. I thought about that, and I realized it was the same for me. That in itself is something to be grateful for.

Jen, I’m actually still waiting for my canned pumpkin to arrive…I may still make a pumpkin pie yet. We shall see

This brings me back to making Thanksgiving for many friends in Krasnodar, Russia when I taught there. The two things I couldn’t get were pumpkin and cranberries, so no cranberry sauce and I made an apple pie.
