Wonderful story! I love your tradition of bringing your cultures together. We do the same - a Palestinian rice dish instead of stuffing. You’re absolutely right about the lack of religion & commercialism making this holiday so special. I’m so grateful for your stories🙏
LOL 😂 I grew up in RI and remember S.S. Pierce canned goods. What a throw back!
Last year we introduced an American style turkey to a bunch of Italians in Tuscany. It’s not easy to find un tacchino in Tuscany!
This year we tried an old tradition and joined 100 people at the Grove. Dinner and music. We were asked to bring an appetizer. I wrapped cubes of fresh cantaloupe with prosciutto, drizzled with a little EVO and sprinkled with pepper.
I absolutely loved reading this and it was so beautifully written
& the nostalgia of the preparation of this splendid feast brought tears to my eyes
What a wonderful SS Pierce collage too and such a beautiful platter from Portugal as well
Thank you so much!

Dammit, I cry after reading EVERY one of these missives, Sheila!
Happy Thanksgiving xoxo
I feel so honored that I was a guest at one of your Belgium Thanksgiving! This brought back such fun memories.
Always the best, dear Sheila. We celebrate Thanksgiving with the same spirit and same few mistakes. We are missing you a lot. Love to all,
