Last Thursday, Thanksgiving day, first day of holidays ;) - even if we leave at noon on Wednesday...
In order to be in the tradition, I spent this day with Monica and her friends. We were 22 and it was really a day of eating : Turkey, smoked ham, smashed potatoes, beans, greens, american cheese macaroni, ... and even more ;)
The house of Monica's friends was already fully decorated for Christmas. Two weeks of preparation to obtain this result!! (Sorry for the quality of the pictures, it seems that I had had some problems with my Iphone)
Thanksgiving is the occasion to cook with the family and friends, to share recipes and to enjoy to be together around a table full of meals.
