Well, I am just plain lazy. No excuse. Sorry.

Hi, all,
First: photos of Thanksgiving/summary. It was fantastic. I am really lucky to have such great people in my life, here. I had visitors from Tübingen (Americans), and I had some of the friends I have made here with me. It was nice to share something so very American with my non-American friends...and to celebrate it with my fellow Americans (I am sounding more patriotic everyday). Enjoy the story of Thanksgiving with photos.
I am thankful for my time here in Germany, for the support from home of my friends and family, and of course for the wonderful people I have in my life in Germany. Life without people to love is not worth it...

Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without some of these staple products...

Appetizers and a lovely arrangement


Americans to the rescue! Cranberry sauce and potato peeling!

Happy Thanksgiving. Here's my winter wonderland...

Sweet Potatoes!

So much chopping!

My favorite. The stuffing!

Our expanded refrigeration system...


I made these not fully cooked cornbread(s) while drinking wine and making Thanksgiving phone calls...

And the pumpkin pie!

My biggest cooking undertaking as of yet: the turkey. Successful. Delicious. Moist.

If only I had known how to cut it...

THAT is what I call a Thanksgiving dinner. Feast.

And the most important and best part of the day: fantastic company.  Rico, Meli, Caro, Lauren, KC, Elly
I will tell you of further adventures tomorrow :)
