god, thanksgiving, and Martha Stewart

God, please give the courage, and, above all,
the smile of Martha Stewart as I carry forth with my Thanksiving.

And that will be hard, because here in France, well…Thanksgiving…well.

I only brought back two cans of Libby’s from the state for the pies and now I need six. Soooooo…that is doable I can make pumpkin pie from
a real pumpkin, just takes longer.

Wanted to finish the corn muffins, well… Simply, ED, and Intermarche just happen to be out of polenta (cornmeal). Ok, I will go to Auchan tomorrow. And, at the same time will see about the sweet potatoes which can be a hit or miss also.

Cranberries,
not a problem, they are readily available at this time of year even in my Coin Perdu.

And did you know there is even a cranberry liquor here? I use it to make my Thanksgiving Kir. Just replace the cassis with the cranberry liquor. I actually make it a “royal” with, not champagne (that would be such a waste!) but with a sparkling wine. I then add dried cranberries. (I buy mine in the states but you can find them here.) It is lovely, they dance in the glass!
