We enjoyed three Thanksgiving meals this holiday season! Gobble, cluck, gobble (one meal was with chickens ;)).
The USA community hosted the Wednesday coffee morning at school the day before Thanksgiving, suppling a complete Thanksgiving feast for 300 teachers, staff and parents! We let a butcher handle the hard part, delivering 4 10-kg turkeys at 8am. A pre-recorded Macy's Day Parade was broadcast and guests were invited to add a note of thanks to the Thanksgiving tree. It was really nice and so yummy!

The Welters stayed overnight again this year and the adults enjoyed a game night when the kids were asleep. I had to take it easy though, because I had scheduled a job interview for the next day (black Friday, what was I thinking?!- Update to follow ;)).
On Saturday we were very happy to be invited to a Friendsgiving at the Nazlawy's. Apart from the turkeys, it was largely an "all plant" feast as some friends who were visiting from London are the creators of ww.allplants.com, a vegan ready-to-eat food delivery service (check them out UK friends!). I'm not going to lie, I was intimidated cooking for a vegan gathering, but making the mashed potatoes was as easy as substituting Alpro soy milk and soy butter and they tasted just the same! The other dishes were also very good, but I was still happy to have some turkey to round out the meal.
