Laowai

So after balking at the $73.00 turkey I saw in the grocery store a few weeks ago I realized there were no other options and I could not imagine going without a turkey on Thanksgiving. Yeah it’s nuts and I know I could have made a whole Thanksgiving meal for several people at that price in the US, but it seemed even more important to make a real Thanksgiving this year. There were some complications making my first Thanksgiving meal here  – like our tiny oven, our just larger than a cooler refrigerator and having to carry the 12lb turkey home in the bottom of the stroller. But it all came out fine and it was fun to cook up a storm and fill the house with those homey holiday smells. 

Proof of my reckless poultry purchase. Truten is the turkey. And I promise that I am woman gel is shaving gel.

Look at those beautiful smiles on our charming guests. 

I have so much to be thankful for, but right now I am thankful for being able to afford a turkey in Switzerland. Onto the leftovers.
