We were fortunate to be invited by an American friend, to join her family for a belated Thanksgiving Dinner! We had never experienced this "famous" celebration before, so it was a real treat! The turkey is the main feature of the meal, and gammon ( I now know that folks in the US call it "ham").
What we found unusual was a yummy sweet potato dish with a marshmellow topping and pumpkin bread served as a main side dish ( these are two dishes that we would usually have as a dessert!)
First time for me was, cherry pie, and pumpkin pie. They're both delicious, and we have subsequently found out, that Kristen, our host, is a "fundi" on making sweet dishes.
(Kristen, hope you get to read this, but Paul is dying for some of your choc chip cookies).
Besides the food, we had great company amongst friends and people we would not have met otherwise!
We have the best of both worlds, we get to experience cultures, without having to visit the country!
I guess we have a lot to be thankful for surrounded by all the poverty here!

It was so much fun having you, Paul, and Torden over! The vegetable dishes that you brought were great! Also, I couldn't have made the cherry pie without your pan (I'll bring it back next week filled with some chocolate chip cookies).
Merci pour la choc chip cookies! Paul devoured them all except for one or two!
