American Thanksgiving

Well, another Thanksgiving is over for us. This marks our seventh one while living in Germany. For our school, there are no days off like in America. Some international schools do observe American Thanksgiving. Because there are so many nationalities representated at BFA and because we have a longer Christmas break, school is on for everyone on Thursday and Friday. So here is my prep before the big turkey day. See I have all of the basic ingredients needed.

Our family likes white meat so the turkey breast is the way to go. I like to cook it in the crock pot all day. Whole turkeys are very expensive over here so for the last few years, I have only bought the turkey brests. Here is the final product with a hungry family waiting to devour the food and drink the famous "red eye" beverage for the holiday season.

After dinner, we played card games, ate homemade pumpkin pie and talked with family using SKYPE. It was a nice American Thanksgiving! Now, let the shopping begin!
