Happy Thanksgiving!!!


For my first Thanksgiving cooking everything on my own (with the help of some AWESOME cookies...a.k.a. Colleen, Matt and Roxana), I cooked an American Thanksgiving dinner, in a Greek restaurant in France with ovens without temperatures (hot or hotter) and no means of measuring, except a water glass, and ingredients that I've never seen before. But wait it gets better...It was for 65 people!!!! I baked 9 pies (5 apple and 4 pumpkin), 7 turkeys with homemade cornbread stuffing, kilos and kilos of mashed potatoes, green beans, and sweet potatoes, and 120 deviled eggs. WHEW! Amazingly enough, I had French people (the waiters in the restaurant) asking me for my apple pie recipe (thanks, mom!). How cool!! It was DEFINITELY a Thanksgiving to remember. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving too! Bisous! xoxoxoxo

You're and apple pie! Now that is one incredible feat! I think the four of you need to open a restaurant of your own when you get back to the USA! Thanks for the great photos! mmm-mmm, I can smell the good cooking from here! xoxoxo

I'd like to taste that apple pie! You will have to make one when you get home. That will be on your chore list along with the Chicago pizza! I am giving you an Irish toast tonight. Tullamore Dew. Every man deserves his dew ;)
