Knowing how inconsistent the supply chain in Arabia can be at times - esp when it comes to American favorites - I pick up canned pumpkins and sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce etc ANY time I see them! Also in my over-stuffed pantry - yellow corn meal, marshmallow cream, peppermint candycanes (NOT strawberry!)and assorted other items I cant live without during the holidays! That said, we had a terrific Thanksgiving here. Thursday is logical Saturday so no work, and there were plenty of thankkful friends around the table. Regardless of the food - there's plenty to be thankkful for! Take care!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668192168400882599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435777.post-1164565474137183402006-11-26T20:24:00.000+02:002006-11-26T20:24:00.000+02:00Scruffy, I forgot about those turkeys.

I love Italy myself, spent some time in Camucia/Cortona, Florence, and Pisa. LOVED IT. <BR/><BR/>Joanna, gravy is comfort food, too bad I never learned how to make it properly. Every time I try to make it, it turns out rather sad. I was going to cook a mini-Thanksgiving dinner this weekend with a chicken but I got sick too.

I hope to never lose my conditioning from my hokey Midwestern upbring (especially taste for gravy comfort food).<BR/>I miss Thanksgiving and this year I missed an expat Thanksgiving dinner because I was sick with a bronchial infection and could only eat chicken soup and yogurt. I want my yams! I want my stuffing!<BR/>Maybe I should just make some this weekend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435777.post-1164393379768968232006-11-24T20:36:00.000+02:002006-11-24T20:36:00.000+02:00Ciao!
