Thanksgiving, 2009

Yes, the French do have turkey; it's called Dinde; as you

can see, it was a somewhat abbreviated turkey dinner,

although Vicki cooked heroically despite the lack of

yams, giblets, and, horrors, green jello for the green

slime (lime bavarian); we are gratified to know Rachel

carried on the tradition

It was all washed down with Normandy cider; Normandie

Gourmandie, the label says

Unfortunately, what I thought might be cranberry sauce

turned out to be something else, something wretched, I

fed to the sea-gulls

We ate at Mount St. Michel, at the foot of the mount, and indeed reflected on the many things for which we have to be thankful. And we thought of our many family and friends, wishing them a happy Thanksgiving as well.
