How hard can it be to find a turkey in Lyon? Not as hard as one would imagine, however... off-season birds are crazy expensive and need to be specially ordered. So, instead of attempting to cook my first turkey and no doubt probably ruin 50€ worth of dinde, I decided that the 9 of us would eat 3 big tasty chickens for dinner.
It was kind of a big deal since the French don't celebrate Thankgiving. There were lots of questions that I tried my best to answer why do you celebrate Thanksgiving? and Why do you and the U.S. celebrate at different times etc. I tried my best to answer, and I think we even got some help from wikepedia. But after the history lesson, we ate! There was salad, mashed potatoes, carrots (thanks mom for the awesome recipe, I think they came out alright), green beans lots of wine and great dessert. I can't take all of the credit, my awesome friends helped out a lot (in the true spirit of Thanksgiving).
After we pigged out, we decided to watch the Thanksgiving episode of Friends with Brad Pitt. Such a good episode. We ate, we laughed and I think/hope that their first Thanksgiving was a memorable one. Here are some leftovers from my thanksgiving for those of you who couldn't be there.
