As some of you might know there is a holiday similar to Thanksgiving in Germany, but it isn't anything like a real whole family meeting for Thanksgiving and having all the food you could possibly ever want! Which is made with love and years of experience. Well, Germany had a Thanksgiving this year, or at least one family. I was in the kitchen for the entire day cooking and it was so much fun. I did, however, state at one point about always having plenty of time and then saving the "little things" for the end and then everything blows up and the people start coming, you're not finished and then they ask if they can help and you end up with a run-on sentence and an unfinished meal! BUT everything got done and it all tasted amazing. The menu for the evening was as follows:
- One Brown Sugar and Honey Glazed Ham
- Mama's Mashed Potatoes
- Ruby's Sweet Corn (My great grandmothers recipe.)
- Very Easy Mac n' Cheesy
- Bread rolls
- Pumpkin Pie (My first time doing everything from scratch, not my best pie, but it was good.)
- Shirley Ann's 'Nanner Puddin' (For those non-country folk it translates to Banana Pudding.)
There was also homemade apple cider for the kids and a nice apple cider sangria for the adults!
The following day was the day that we all said goodbye to Stefan. I know what you're thinking, my cooking wasn't THAT bad! Stefan is currently in Australia doing another production of Wagner's Ring Cycle as, you guessed it, Siegfried! In Melbourne to be exact. It was sad and we all miss him, but he said he was liking it okay aside from a few odd directors directions.
Bis Spätter!
