Happy Thanksgiving everyone |
|
Enjoy the day. Enjoy your time with family and friend. Enjoy the dinner.
And think of me when you take a bite of that turkey or sweet potato casserole or pumkin pie as I am here in Germany, working both jobs today and not having anything that resembles a Thanksgiving dinner ;)

but since I am German and we don't celebrate Thanksgiving I have to skip on that. Next chance to have a very delicious dinner is Christmas :)
I've been to the States and had a couple of Thanksgiving dinners, so I know what I miss out on.

9. Happy Thanksgiving Brewman |
|
:hi: :hug: :loveya:
It is quiet at the library but I am not sure I want quiet at the store. Time passes faster when I am busy there. I just don't want to be overly busy and I don't want a******s as customers.

10. Hopefully, no big crowds |
|
here, I don't go near a supermarket on the day before Thanksgiving. Crowds, long lines, the risk of some items running out. Glad I got the last minute stuff on Tuesday.

21. My holiday meals are as traditional as I can make them |
|
If I could resist eating "traditional sushi" in Hawaii, I can resist eating hummus with my turkey. :) I love the traditional food so much, I pretty much don't experiment with a good thing. Although I did add pomegranate juice to the traditional punch my mom makes, so I guess you could call that Middle Eastern influence!

but in Germany we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. What we have is the St. Martin's Day on November 11th ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin%27s_Day) but it isn't a holiday.

18. AH... but you have FASCHING!!!! |
|
. . . A New Orleans-like season of celebration lasting from St. Martin's day (I think) until "Fat Tuesday" (the day prior to Ash Wednesday) in March(???). . . . I certainly miss THAT!!! . . . And it was certainly a LOT more fun than Thanksgiving with all its stress and family angst. . . .

15. I would trade all the turkey in the world for some GOOD sauerbraten... |
|
. . . . . ...as I've never found a German restaurant here in the States that made what I would consider "good" sauerbraten. . . . I'd even keep the cranberry sauce and stuffing for side dishes. . . . Ironically, McCormick (or one of the major spice companies) used to sell a "Roastin' Bag" with spices for "instant" sauerbraten cooked at home (no need to marinate it for days -- I think you just added vinegar and baked your roast in it) that was sublime. . . . But, of course... they discontinued what might have been one of their greatest achievements. . . .

17. M-m-m-m, I had forgotten about Rouladen... |
|
. . . ...HEY!!! I just made a little poem. . . . The BEST thing I ever had in Germany was in a little corner gasthaus in a little village outside of Nurnberg -- Zigeunerschnitzel. . . . I probably wouldn't do Schnitzel justice -- but that sauce would be dynamite on a LOT of things. . . .

19. And the smaller the restaurant... |
|
...the better the sauerbraten. :9 I'm also a total dumpling fiend, and I would't say no to a good serving of Maultaschen either.
Cafe Mozart in Washington, D.C., serves sauerbraten, and it's pretty good, but they can't manage chicken paprikas for some reason.
