Well, the only other Americans we know here came over for Thanksgiving on Thursday. Then they stayed in town until Saturday evening. Feels like I've done nothing but cook since Wednesday night! Giving myself a break with some take & bake... At least they paid for the groceries. Pretty happy overall.
Other good news is that my wife has an interview! If she gets it we'll have to move halfway across England, so we're visiting next month to see if it's a good fit. If you know anything about Leominster I'm all ears.
I knew one weird German guy who celebrated Thanksgiving, and for some reason he invited me over every year to watch football (go Bazooka Sharks?) and sample his delicious Turkey. We had nothing in common (I don't do sportsball and his politics makes me stare into the horizon and sip beer), but gosh his turkey and pumpkin soup was great
I even think it's strange when Americans are into that sort of thing. It's downright spooky when others do it.
I'm happy to make turkey and pumpkin soup, and if you're over I promise I'll at least talk about actual weird shit - the tragedy of the Batavia, Crowley, that sort of thing.
a man after my own heart, I see!
Hell yeah. Been a while since I made cream of pumpkin soup though, I usually do a curry with pumpkin.
