Today is Thanksgiving but here in Belgium it's just another day. The kids have school and Bob has to go to work. We will have our big Thanksgiving meal on Saturday when everyone is home and can enjoy the smell of turkey roasting. Right now I am trying to make cranberry sauce from scratch. I found 3 very sorry looking bags of Ocean Spray Cranberries at the store yesterday. They were screaming to be taken out of the grocery store where they were being ignored by all the Belgians. Later today I am going on a hunt to find real sweat potatoes, another hard to find item. I will probably have the most luck at the outdoor market. I ordered a turkey from the Irish Butcher and a friend gave me a giant can of pumpkin for pies. It looks like our feast is almost ready to go.
Happy Thanksgiving!
