Thanksgiving in Paris

So we've celebrated our first thanksgiving, and I won't forget it!
There are not many events/celebrations where gifts are not involved... Thanksgiving is even maybe the only one, already for that I love it!

Then American people are definatly the best at celebrating such events. You should have seen all what Michelle cooked (well you can see below! :P), and also the spirit she and Frederic (her French hubby) brought to the event... Really wunnerful!



We had everything you could expect from a traditionnal Thanksgiving (and much more!): turkey, gravy, stuffing, smashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, beans, pumpkin cakes, pumpkin pie, apple pie, cheese cake, carrort cake, pecan pie, etc.. + italian specialities + French ones (the tradition requires that the guests come with something to eat too, so we did).

There is a dessert you know that is called "death by chocolate", I think we could have named the meal "death by thanksgiving"! hehe
Mind you, it was excellent, everything was purfect. It's just that A french Christmas'meal is nothing in comparison with the Thanksgiving's meal! Your stomach has to experience that once in its life :P



We came back home with a huge heavy bag full of yummmy stuff, as it's also the tradition to share what's left! (happy sigh)
you wouldn't see that in France! Only your mom will give you what's left after a meal... otherwise it would sounds like "ermmm please take what's left with you, it wasn't that good for us". lol
Sharing what's left after a meal is such a nice tradition at many levels!

It's been a memorable experience. Wanna do it again...next year! :)



PS: well, Xmas is in a bit more than 3 weeks!!!..
....time to start with a new diet here! pfffffff
