Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you are all having a fabulous day. Today Ben and I are going to host our first Thanksgiving meal here in Spain. We are going to have people from all over the world come over for it. There are going to be 11 people here including Ben and I. One girl from California, two boys from New Mexico, one boy from Florida, one girl from Italy, one girl from Germany, one girl from France, and one boy & girl from England. The people not from the USA are very excited because they have never had a Thanksgiving meal before.
We went shopping last night at a grocery store and found great things for our menu. We will have turkey breast fillets with sauteed mushrooms and onions, mashed potatoes with garlic, a lettuce salad with sliced almonds, orange slices, lemon juice & olive oil, corn niblets and a mixed bag of vegetables that consists of white asparagus, pepper, green beans, carrots. We are also going to have two different kind of desserts. We were unable to make a pumpkin pie but really wanted to.
It should be a great time. I am also very scared of how we are going to cook enough food for all 11 people and keep it warm at the same time. It will be served at 9 PM tonight. That is when people have supper here. It is actually kind of early. Most people eat about 9:30 or 10 at night! We have a nice kitchen but not as many pots and pans as well as serving dishes as we would like so we are just going to have to see what we can do with what we have. I hope everybody likes it! I hope that you all have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving vacation. I will let you know tomorrow how the Thanksgiving Day meal went. Bye!
