As you may know, I moved to the USA from Canada when I was
12 years old. Thanksgiving isn’t a
holiday I grew up with, and since I have no family in the USA, I’ve always
gravitated towards a turkey day with friends who are also without family in the
states.
For the last 10-15 years, the friends I’ve spent most Thanksgivings
with are my Florida friends. They either
come up to New Jersey to celebrate with us, or we fly down to Ft Lauderdale to
nosh with them. This year, we’re in
South Florida and something’s going to be very different about our traditional
meal – I’ll not be cooking it all myself!
This morning, I’ll bake a Maple
Bourbon Pecan Pie and some stuffing, but the rest of the feast will be
prepared by my girlfriend’s husband while the girls hit the beach for brunch!
I’m looking forward to this new tradition and to spending
quality time with folks who mean a lot to me.
Whatever you’ll be doing today, make it special and memorable.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Veronique
