I had expected that this year would be the first time I'd miss Thanksgiving. Certainly it's the first time I've passed the holiday away from my family. But last week, I was delighted to partake in a French Thanksgiving. One of the schools that I work at does a traditional meal on Thanksgiving day every year, so the requisite turkey and mashed potatoes was not missed. As it turns out, and not surprisingly, the French do Thanksgiving pretty damn well:
Clockwise from top: Pumpkin soup, Cheesy broccoli/cauliflower, Turkey with cranberry gravy, Mashed potatoes with mushrooms, Sweet corn/pepper salad with apples, Camembert cheese, Brownie with walnuts and chocolate chips (there was even a little crème anglaise in the bottom of the bowl).
I'm thankful for... the Frenchies' extraordinary skills in the kitchen. Even cafeteria food is amazing, most of the time. ;)
