Cranberry sauce



I searched high and low for my contribution to Thanksgiving dinner. Cranberries are not super popular but I fulfilled my assignment thanks to the "foreign food" section of a larger super market in the area. This little jar cost about 2.10 euro and is was a mixture of whole cranberry sauce and the canned jelly stuff (and as you can see, there was not much to go around). Either way it was well worth the scandelous price. Thanksgiving just is not Thanksgiving with out it.

Thanksgiving #2



My second was with some of the other assistants in the Fontianebleau-Avon area. We were ten in company and we ate until there was no more left and then we danced. Here you will see me with my Colombian friend Felipe, and Santiago with Ying. It was certainly an international celebration.

Thanksgiving #1






I had two Thanksgivings this year. My first was with the Randal Family. They are in my ward here and they invited me over with a zillion other people. There were about 25 people in all (15 of which were under the age of 13) and all were American. There are many things that you can find in France for Thanksgiving but others are difficult but look what we did find: 4 turkeys, two pumpkin pies and 4 jars of cranberry sauce. It was a good time.
