An Irish Thanksgiving

11/29/2011

My Irish friends were so excited by the idea of American Thanksgiving that they asked if we could have our own Turkey Day here in Dublin. So that's exactly what we did....except on Sunday instead of Thursday, so lecture wouldn't get in the way. We even played a bit of American football first - our very own Turkey Bowl - except the Irish have no idea how to play American football, but it was hilarious to watch. They got enough of the basics, anyway. The food was delicious. I cooked 2 turkeys, mounds of mashed potatoes, green beans, carrot souffle, stuffing, cranberries, and 3 pumpkin pies. I had some great kitchen help as well. And there were almost no leftovers. Following in tradition, everyone had to go around and tell what they were thankful for. Some were funny, some were serious, and a few even got people all teary-eyed. Almost felt like America.
