I’m not sure the old Thanksgiving some really “works” as amended, and I sure as heck haven’t figured out how to work in the part about the sleigh–somehow a carrito just conjures up the wrong image.
Nevertheless, Thanksgiving is coming again and we will be celebrating it in our new tradtional fashion just like last year (when about 90 people participated).
Everyone has something for which to be thankful: for me those things include friends, better health, 40kg less weight, and lots of good business. On this day of craziness which ends the “silly season” in the US, I am especially thankful to be here and not there.
The Southron’s gang will provide some turkeys and asado (I’m not sure if either the Pilgrims or the Gauchos would really approve of the mix), and we ask everyone else to bring along a side dish and anything else they would like to add to the feast.
As before, Clara Lundquist has been appointed Grand High Menu organizer because of her ability to badger, wheedle and otherwise keep everyone in line. And because she did such a great job, I volunteered her again this year. Please cooperate as Clara organizes the menu and tries to get a head count so we know how much food to buy.
Since this is going to be the very last of the weekly Thursday night Open House gatherings here in Buceo (more about that later) I hope that everyone will try to attend.
