Sharing an American meal with friends from different parts of the US and Europe (and still being able to find the ingredients for everything on base, since my husband is military stationed in Spain) is such a wonderful experience. And I definitely don't miss all the Black Friday craziness! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!Meghann Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343117165202565047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648266294703204304.post-24084099695463660692012-11-22T20:51:28.429+00:002012-11-22T20:51:28.429+00:00Happy Thanksgiving!

I have had some amazing Thanksgivings spent here in Norway. I miss my family terribly, but it is so fun introducing Norwegians to my traditional turkey dinner.

I know being away from home makes us ponder life and all that we left behind like Mom's cherry pie. I told my (13) year old daughter yesterday that she needs to take notes and start learning how to make Thanksgiving dinner. She gave me a good scream as any teenager would do and a big "Seriously MOM, that's your job. <br />Now you and Mr.Aspring Kennedy enjoy this Thanksgiving in peace and quiet where ever you roam cause next year you are in for a turkey ride with those twins.<br />blessings to you sweetie. Feel good and rub that belly for me.<br />pvepve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648266294703204304.post-74445141272655657672012-11-22T04:19:10.694+00:002012-11-22T04:19:10.694+00:00Happy Thanksgiving!

We ended up being the only two people in a Cuban restaurant eating chicken, plantains, and flan. It's not the same as being overseas, but I thought my quirky little Thanksgiving was kind of fun! Hope you find plenty of joy in your overseas Thanksgiving. So glad you have so much to be thankful for this year!Legally Lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648495438526310121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648266294703204304.post-70815076395706085022012-11-22T03:45:33.380+00:002012-11-22T03:45:33.380+00:00We have friends that have been expats here in Japa...We have friends that have been expats here in Japan for decades, for us this is our first Thanksgiving here. They like to joke that Thanksgiving is on Saturday because the locals don't quite get taking the day off. I did mix some local candied kumquats into my cranberry relish; my husband was initially concerned that even Thanksgiving had gone Asian - but it tastes delicious!

That was fun because it was one British girl, a woman from Belize, a woman from Kenya, and a woman from Iran. It was also the first time I had cooked Thanksgiving by myself.<br /><br />I'm sure the food you'll have will be better than what I managed to scrounge together. :)Natalie | Mrs. Janney |https://www.blogger.com/profile/18312142177721655450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648266294703204304.post-52587811522724005422012-11-21T22:22:28.035+00:002012-11-21T22:22:28.035+00:00Happy Thanksgiving.

I guess because everyone over there just went about their business, like it was any other day (!) which I guess it was to them. I took advantage by having friends-giving and introducing expats from all over to some traditional american holiday food - authentic ingredients found at Selfridges food hall - $$$. <br /><br />Enjoy your time in Scotland!
