Our Turkey Feast...

In my recent Thanksgiving post, I informed all of you that Brian and I would not be partaking in a delicious Thanksgiving feast this year, and that we were going to live vicariously through you... Well, that turned out to be a little white lie... Oops! Because, wouldn't you know it, we were invited to a Thanksgiving dinner last Saturday evening... We got to celebrate Thanksgiving after all! :)

My friend, Theresa, was able to get some extra tickets for Brian and I to a Thanksgiving dinner held at a restaurant in Meersburg. Let's just say that we happily accepted the tickets! :) We were informed that this Thanksgiving celebration takes place every year as a way for all of the expats in the area to get together and celebrate this holiday. It is put on annually by the owners of the restaurant. Such a thoughtful thing to do!!

The evening was such fun! The restaurant was great... It was very swank and trendy. We were surrounded by a group of English speakers from all over the world (Bermuda, America, Germany, England, etc...), so there was never a lull in conversation! :) But, in Brian and my opinion, the greatest part of the evening (by far!) was the food... It was absolutely phenomenal!! They served turkey, ham, steamed vegetables, sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, pumpkin soup, stuffing, apple pie, pumpkin pie, and we can't forget the American style chocolate chip cookies... All in all, it was an outstanding meal!

Needless to say, we've now added that evening to our list of things that we're thankful for this holiday season... We had such a wonderful evening, and we felt extremely grateful to have been invited and to have had the opportunity to celebrate the holiday with such a diverse group of people... And, to be quite honest, we were VERY thankful for the delicious food they served... Yum! :)

Outside of the restaurant... We definitely plan on going back again someday!

The 30 pound turkey, along with the ham, that the chef wheeled out to our table... Delicious! :)
