For the second year in a row, I had to go to work on Thanksgiving when all of America was cooking turkey and baking pies with friends and family. So I settled for the next best thing with a burger and root beer from Schwartz's Deli with a few Americans from my division at the OECD. Good times. The real party kicked off this weekend with our 2nd (now annual) Thanksgiving dinner at Chez Burns-Hogge on Sunday. We had 14 people over this year, which is only manageable in a Parisian kitchen if it's potluck style - we cook the bird and the basics, and everyone else brings a dish or two. Most of our guests aren't Americans, so it's an added bonus that some are getting to have Thanksgiving dinner for the first time :) And as Michael perfectly captioned the picture below:
2nd annual Parisian Thanksgiving! 14 adults, 1 baby, 8 nationalities, a small vineyard's worth of wine, and leftovers for weeks. Missing family and friends back home, but thankful for great friends here in Paris.
