This year I worked on TDAY, gasp!! It actually wasn’t bad at all because the employees announced they would like to celebrate “this American holiday called Thanksgiving” with me. I must confess I was dreading having to help cook for Tday because I was a little tired post Malaga & we were still very busy at work staying late working on our project! But I did it anyways and I’m so glad I did because it turned out to be great fun! Doing the prep work at my chalet was NOT a great idea. I have this teeny tiny kitchen and no suitable tools; I spent the night after prepping dreaming of Wustoff, Kitchenaid, Cuisinart and Fiesta Ware! Prep involved me making sweet potato casserole from scratch and doing the pie crust. I must say, this was probably in the top 5 great pie crust making experiences for me, and I consider myself a pretty good pie gal! The night before TDAY I went to a coworker’s home, Wendy. She is British lady (has a grown daughter named Elizabeth!!) that has lived with a Dutch man named Carlos for many many years. They are an adorable couple. We spent the night drinking copious amounts of wine, doing the cooking and eating very yummy Chinese takeout! Thanksgiving Day we had a huge feast and the décor looked extra fabulous thanks to my work BFF Tia! Tia really helped us out by mailing tons of decorations and supplies any TDAY chef would consider essential. Experiencing TDAY Venray style made me realize I am so thankful for my old friends & my new friends and this great opportunity to experience life abroad! I hope that you enjoyed your holiday too!
