Happy Thanksgiving
To all,
Those cooking tonight, those leaving, those just laying back, those: just who cares, those just know that a day off is a luxury for you still working.
Happy holidays, a retired mimi

Ah, Mimi, one day I shall be a retired Croque!
Until then, you fully enjoy each and every day of the leisure you've earned. Set a good example for the rest of us, so that when we retire we, too, will

(OMG, I hate this laptop!)
Ahem, as I was saying, Mimi...
...so that we, too, will remain as full of life as you are, newly enchanted with the world every morning.
Happy, happy Thanksgiving, dear one!

As I'm sure a lot of expats are doing, I'm sitting here at work wishing I were home with a turkey in the oven and homemade rolls rising on top of the fridge, not to mention the aroma of wonderful smells coming from my stove.
I wish all of my Fodorite friends a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. May you all have a great day and fabulous feasts. We all have much to be thankful for. Enjoy.

I stayed up very late last night making cornbread/apple/sausage dressing to use to stuff the bird with this morning, rolls, sweet potato souffle (all except the egg whites, which will go in today just before cooking), peeled potatoes and marinated the green beans.
As I was making this unaccustomed huge meal, I gave thanks for the unbelievable abundance of our lives, and a prayer for those around the world going hungry today.
