I'm going to my parents' in Arkansas. All the family with nieces and nephews will be there. With chestnuts! That grow on a scraggly tree on their property. It is work to process them. But they are so rich and filling. And it sure connects me back to when chestnut trees were the dominant tree in the Eastern forests. It sure must have been a different place with so much abundant, rich food from those trees.
I like the bowls you are using for your soup! How did you deal with Thanksgiving when you were down in Chile? It must have been your family's own personal holiday. Did Chileans have anything equivalent? Enjoy your Thanksgiving back in the US!
Have a safe journey to Arkansas
While we were in Chile, we had several expat friends. Where we first lived in Chile, we had some Chilean friends that were mutual friends with some expats and were aware of our US holiday of Thanksgiving. So, we invited them to our dinner, it was a great success. The following three years, we lived in a larger town with more expats so it was generally Norte Americanos, however we did have some Austrians, some Chinese and some Fins. Very interesting international mix for all of our get together's.
