Of all the American holidays, this is the one I really miss. Thereās no way Iāll skip it, even from all the way over here!
Doing it all myself, but for two people itās not overwhelming. Didnāt even make anything until today.
Weāre going standard: boneless turkey roast (turkey leg quarter, deboned and rolled, not stuffed), stuffing baked in the same pan as the roast, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie. No cranberries to be had here and I forgot to order a can of cranberry sauce so Iām using lingonberry jam from IKEA. Itās remarkably similar.
In the past I have done less traditional meals, including a Native American menu that got rave reviews, but some of the ingredients for a ānormalā Thanksgiving dinner are already hard enough to find in France. Whole turkey doesnāt become widely available until close to Christmas and breast roasts are non-existentādark meat is far more popular, which is okay because we both like it. I really donāt need to complicate the task by chasing down things like buffalo meat or hominy
The French Husband has very little concept of Thanksgiving, but heās not going to turn down a meal like this.

Since he wonāt be home from work until around 9pm, so weāll be digging in just before the Bills and the Cowboys take to the field.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
