Happy Thanksgiving from London! I'm pretty excited for tonight, we're introducing the Brits to the gluttonous magic that is this festive feast. It's funny, we're doing a full Thanksgiving dinner, Turkey and all, and there will only be two Americans present. It will be a most excellent non-American American holiday though. I'm making my cranberry sauce! And pie! Pecan pie! (I wanted to do the fatty-fat peanut butter Reese's cheesecake that I did last year, but they don't sell Reese's here... sad face.)
I have this whiny-ass American neighbor on my hall who spends all of her time complaining about the UK and how everything here is different (uh, did you expect it to be another America? Of course it's different you twat, it's another country!), and I just heard her complain about how she "hates being in a country that doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving" and how she's upset that she can't go shopping on Black Friday. I would like to punch her repeatedly in the face and then possibly shove her head in a toilet. Would that be inappropriate?
Anyway. I need to buy cranberries. Those might be important, for cranberry sauce and all.

My thanksgiving cooking consisted of... chickpea curry and Indian cabbage salad? My dad and I decided that we're mixing what the colonizers expected with what they actually got.
ReplyDeleteHappy Turkey Day!
We have a turkey that is apparently supposed to feed 12-16 people. When my dad said that, my soul threw up a little.
