A Cuenca Thanksgiving

To those of you freezing in the USA or elsewhere, I can only say be thankful for this Thanksgiving for heaters!  Homes in Cuenca do not have heaters.  We broke down and got two little electric ones to take the morning chill off but 40-78 degree weather is hard to complain about too much!  We had a great Thanksgiving day:  Chatted with friends in Oregon who told of freezing weather.  Chatted with friends in Montana who were thankful they did not have to go out, Meals on Wheels delivered dinner to them, it was 0 last night and they had 3 inches of snow for Thanksgiving.  Cuenca on the other hand as I said was georgous.  Made a trip to Coral for last minute pyrex to make the apple cobber in and a few extras. 

The frozen turkey was thawed in the refrigerator . . . guess I did not have it a big enough container and ended up washing out the whole refrigerator due to a leaking bag.  Anyway, the Pavo was taken from the bag, washed, and much to my surprise included with the usual bag of gibblets . . . turkey feet!  Guess the more for the broth pot the merrier!

Our friends from North Carolina, Gary and Sue, who now live just down the street brought half the meal.  We feasted and remembered all we have to be thankful for in our new home.

Chao for now!
