Thanksgiving, courage and Martha Stewart

God, please give the courage, and, above all, the smile   of Martha Stewart as I carry forth with my Thanksiving.

 

And that will be hard, because here in France, well…Thanksgiving…well.

 

I only brought back two cans of Libby’s from the state for the pies and now I need six. Soooooo…that is doable I can make pumpkin pie   from  a real  pumpkin, just takes longer.

 

Wanted to finish the corn muffins, well… Simply, ED, and Intermarche just happen to be out of polenta (cornmeal). Ok, I will go to Auchan tomorrow.  And, at the same time will see about the sweet potatoes which can be a hit or miss also.

 

Cranberries,   not a problem, they are readily available at this time of year even in my Coin Perdu.

 

 And did you know there is even a cranberry liquor here?  I use it to make my Thanksgiving Kir.  Just replace the cassis with the cranberry liquor.  I actually make it a “royal” with, not champagne (that would be such a waste!) but with a sparkling wine.  I then add dried cranberries.  (I buy mine in the states but you can find them here.)  It is lovely, they dance in the glass!
