Here in Germany we don´t have the Thanks Giving You guys have....of course not...cos Yours is a lot about the Pilgrims and everything....so it wouldn´t make much sense for us to celebrate it.....But we have a Holiday, on the first Sunday of Oktober that is called "Ernte Danke Fest" (Thanks-for the harvest-fest)...in the end You could say it´s our Thanks Giving......it´s mostly celebrated in churches....not really a public celebration thing......
Now I have decided to change that for my family now.....since we are Christians...I think we should celebrate that day and thank God for what he´s been giving us....food, health, each other, friends.....
So for Sunday I have invited my father and mother (divorced) and will cook some "German Thanks Giving" dinner after coming home from church....
I will do two roasted chicken, mashed sweet potatoes (or potatoes...don´t know yet), beans and gravy.......for a desert or later for coffee, I will do a Pumpkin-Cheese-Pie on Saturday....
We will also carf the Pumpkin that we buy for the pie....so Kandice (2,5years old) has something to do as well.....
I plan to do that every year now...
...and am browsing thru the net getting more and more recipes to please my family on Sunday!
