Happy Federally Mandated Day of Thanksgiving to God.

Frankly, I am thankful for every day ... good or bad, each represents another opportunity to learn, to grow, to be humbled, and other things that are best said on the inside of a Hallmark card.

Today I have made my second Gingerbread. I made one last night. I came home from work with a little extra coffee on board and decided to make it early. Great idea, wasn't it? Until the darn thing cracked diagonally. So I had to start over again this morning, used a tube pan instead of a nine-inch square. So, I have a bonus Gingerbread that I will be able to enjoy. I'll probably take it into work tomorrow.

My sister is in London. She went on business, but is now staying with friends. Her friend's husband is going to attempt to make a traditional American Thanksgiving Dinner.

I didn't know that Brits had turkeys. Or cranberries.

We don't have God either.
But we have bloody good pubs.

Lucky sis.

We have turkeys. Have had since the mid-16th century.

[eta] we also, apparently have cranberries. But they're a slightly different taste and size to the ones in America.

What makes you say that, Dana. I should think your's come from Canada, which are the same as ours?

I would have guessed goose.... I guess that's old fashioned though.

classicman · 11-27-2009, 09:04 PM

Wasn't goose the traditional meal for those who couldn't afford a turkey?

monster · 11-27-2009, 09:11 PM

Goose is old-fashioned and more expensive than turkey. It's always been turkey in my lifetime...

classicman · 11-27-2009, 09:18 PM

I guess its a stupid thing I remember from an old movie. Weren't the Cratchets gonna have a goose till Scrooge got a few visits from ghosts?

monster · 11-27-2009, 09:21 PM

They weren't going to have anything as far as I recall. Your version is probably Americanized, though.... you just can't trust hollywood
