No, it's not a German holiday, but there are enough Americans around here to put together an acceceptably festive celebration. Got Mom to send cornbread mix along with Skip when he was back stateside, I e-mailed my mother-in-law to find out how chicken broth is found here (it's in buillion cubes or powder), paid the equivalent of $10 for six sweet potatoes and got some brown sugar (doesn't exist in Germany) at the last international market. So I'm set to make cornbread dressing and sweet potato casserole. Mom also sent some pecans as they are not common here--hazelnuts are another story. Am also going to put together Sara Jane Douglass's green bean recipe. All those ingredients were readily available.
My friend Melanie is going to cook the turkey. She had to put a special order in for it at a local market. Had a fleeting fear that it might come with the feathers still on it, but was relieved to find that it looked like the one she always buys, except that it still seems to have its neck.
We had several hours of sun today in Duesseldorf. It was great!
