Another holiday abroad, and more specifically another Thanksgiving. This year, however, I was thankful to be spending it with my girlfriend, who’s now living in Kiev. We had to settle for chicken instead of turkey, but mulled wine, a good white wine, plenty of garlic mashed potatoes and a killer apple, red onion and blue cheese salad more than made up for it.
Of course, we were missing our families. There’s no accounting for them – or the famously delicious apple and pumpkin pies my mother and grandmother prepare each year. But we’ll be back in the states soon enough.
Wow, looks like you and Bri made a stellar holiday dinner in Kiev! You two really know how to cook it up in the kitchen. That salad sounds delicious, but I’m fixed on that streudel-like pasty in the forefront – what is it again? What’s all this w/o the wine, right? We miss you too. Happy Thankgiving. Mom & Dad
