Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving. For those wo don't live here it does not mean anything but for us it is a big thing.

First of all we can eat turkey. Actually we can eat turkey any time during the year but during Thanksgiving it is mandatory. There is the Turkey Police that might show up at anybody's place just to check if they serve up the bird. People might think the fashion police is hard. They haven't met the terrible TP.

If they find any family not having turkey they can make them gaggle-gaggle for an hour out in public. And then they have to cook and eat a turkey.

Second, we eat all the trimmings that come with the bird. Sometimes the trimmings are more exciting than the turkey itself. I knew some people who stuffed a duck inside the turkey and prepared it that way. I guess it was called a durkey.

Then come the cakes. They come in all varieties. Pumpkin pie, all kinds of fruity pies. And there might also be some cakes.

We had a lovely dinner. My fiancée started the preparations yesterday and everything was ready by the time our guests arrived. Everybody ate well. We drank, we ate then drank more, then ate more and closed the dinner with we drank more.

I mentioned it before that the first time in my life we have an automatic dishwasher meaning we didn't have to do the dishes. What a relief.

Over all we had a great time and I hope all my friends had a nice Thanksgiving.
