Two new posts in one night! Oh my!
I call this: Thanksgiving Part Three.
I call this: Thanksgiving Part Three.
Yes, it's true. Tonight we celebrated Thanksgiving again. Amber and I whipped up a mini-Thanksgiving meal consisting of roasted turkey breast, candied yams, green bean casserole (just a tip: crushed up onion flavored potato chips work just as well for the topping...we couldn't find fried onions), jellied cranberry sauce (thank you Aunt Barb and Grandma!), stuffing (again, thanks to Ciocia Basia and Babcia), and pumpkin pie. We invited Asia and Iza over to experience an "American" Thanksgiving and we all had a great time. I'm seriously so thankful for these girls. They're such a blessing.
Iza lived in America, up near Boston, for a year working as an au pair, so she has experienced a Thanksgiving. She was so funny...she kept going around smelling the foods- especially the stuffing-and just revelling in the delight of the memories of her time in America that the smells brought back. Here she is investigating the candied yams and trying to figure out what in the world they are. They don't have such things here, so we tried to explain what yams are, yet at the same time stressing that this form of yams--with brown sugar and marshmallows on top--are pretty much as far from resembling a vegetable as you can get.
Here's the spread. In my book, the best news is that we now have leftovers to enjoy!
Me and Asia and Iza enjoying some whipped cream. And somehow we all ended up wearing matching shirts. We could have been back-up singers (which, if you didn't know, would pretty much be my dream...or maybe to be June Carter or to sing in a bluegrass band. Hmmm...too bad I can't sing. Well, there's always the tamborine and an unplugged mic--that's for you Teresa)
Ok, other than the fact that this is the back of my head, this picture really is, well, just bad. BUT, it represents something I MUST share with both of you who may be reading this. Are you sitting down? This is big. Did you know Billy Ray Cyrus has a new song? It's definitely called "I Want my Mullet Back". Um...I want this song!!! This picture is of Amber playing a bit of the song for Iza and Asia...directly followed by, yes you guessed it, Achy Breaky Heart. I'm packing my bags tonight, because I'm pretty sure we'll get kicked out of Poland for that one. There's got to be some sort of law against that one. I mean, you can't bring fruits and vegetables into a foreign country...pretty sure you can't bring Achy Breaky Heart either. But, it's worth it. It's all for you Billy Ray...all for you.

I love the blue and silver trees! For the Ugly Betty watchers out there, didn't you love Hilda's pink tree?? Miss you, and wish I'd get to see you when you visited. Enjoy your time home though. As for Billy Ray... haven't heard the song, but know it's out there. I chose not to search for it online though. :)
you're becoming quite the cook over there, you know. I'm impressed!
And I think I may need that BillY Ray song too. I'm on my way to iTunes right now to check it out.....
I believe BR "danced" to that last year on Dancing with ... I can't say I've heard it since. Check with your bro. Did you know his daughter is a HUGE star here at the ripe age of 14?
Your feast looks delish. It makes me wonder what smells will bring back memories of Poland for you?
Is that 2 trees I see? Very festive. FYI - I still have the blogger addresses, so you don't have to send them. Thanks anyhow. Can't wait to see the skating pix!
LYLAD!
PS - That "his" means BR's daughter, not Kyle's! I think my modifier dangled or something like that.
Are you as much of a Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana fan as Billy Ray? The kids and I watch Hanna Montana all the time...Carsyn is obsessed with her CD. There's a really cool father/daughter duet they have out now.
You can not have too many Thanksgiving dinners! You only need to stop in time to start the Christmas food celebrations:)
