Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends at GS. I’m thankful for the opportunity to have such diverse discussions with people from all parts of the world. I’ve learned a lot about myself and many things about people and places I’ve never been to before. Be kind to each other and take care of yourselves this holiday season no matter where you are.

Our best dishes were Yukon Gold mashed potatoes (with lots of butter, salt and pepper), the turkey (moist and delicious), and the cranberry sauce (canned whole cranberries in sauce, orange zest, orange juice and toasted walnuts). We tried to make zwieback (German rolls) for the first time but the recipe was off; some were hard as golf balls. We tried a fancy green bean casserole recipe from the New York Times, but it was too fancy for us. I yearned for the Campbell's recipe. Bacon in green bean casserole is just wrong. But ... I am coming off a bad sinus infection, couldn't taste as well as usual, and wasn't very hungry, anyway. I was just glad when everybody else ate and left. I've been sleeping a lot and was lucky to have stayed awake, really.
Our stuffing was OK, we used cornbread and French bread. I am hoping the leftover will reheat well.
Happy Thanksgiving!
