Thanksgiving at yours sounds a lot like Christmas at ours. (One year when my grandpa was still alive he knocked down our tree while trying to chase the cat.)

Yeah, it's that time of the year when the desire to drop into a quiet corner and get drunk is quite biiiig! :)

Well... can't you send out an e-mail to the department about that plate? Just suggesting. I just hopes that it returns, washed and all of that. It's post thanksgiving, but I read the entry yesterday, I just hope all went okay and you guys had a wonderful time!

Happy Thanksgiving for everybody!
(late as usual - and no transcultural excuse: I *did* know yesterday was Thanksgiving)
I hope everything went fine. And German chocolate ice cream pie! just the name makes me drool. How complicated is the recipe?
