German Thanksgiving

Who knew we'd have such an authentic Thanksgiving weekend right here in Germany, thousands of miles away from home... 

Of course we didn't have any football, or family, or political conversations about Barack Obama's first dog choice, but we did eat bird and stuffing three days in a row! Now that's something to be thankful for... 

On Thursday we had our gourmet Thanksgiving dinner cooked for us by Jeremy, and on Friday we had the leftovers from that meal. On Saturday evening all three of us were invited to a "German Thanksgiving" at Anika and Michael's house, where we had more of a traditional Thanksgiving with some German accents, complete with an eighteen pound turkey, brussel sprouts, red cabbage, and potato knodelen.  

The piece-de-resistence was a quark, hot cherry, and chocolate desert that left us beyond full.

Post Script: We're having a hard time uploading the photographs from the party. We'll try later to add the rest.
