Thanksgiving thoughts: turkey, mashed potatoes, cornbread, green beans, sweet potatoes, apple crisp, cherry pie, pumpkin pie, AMERICAN FOOD!
You might think a Thanksgiving outside of the US might not include all the above…especially in Mozambique where all the ingredients aren’t always so easy to get. There is no super Wally World here (and thank goodness for that!) But amazingly enough, a lot of that above was present at our Mozambican Thanksgiving, and I think if I didn’t have some small bad bacteria swimming around in my stomach that day, I would have REALLY enjoyed that meal.
I will admit, there was no cherry pie or pumpkin pie, or my sister’s sweet potato savoury dish, but we had 4 turkeys, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, apple crumble, green beans, bread, salads, etc. It definitely fed 70 + of us.
Thanksgiving always brings back great memories:
- Ultimate football with the fam
- My Granny’s mashed potatoes (and now my aunt’s)
- Being pulled through the snow behind a tractor and on top of a car hood
- “I’m thankful for kisses. I love kisses, and silky things.”
- Thanksgiving in India
I love adding to the list great memories!
