Thankfulness
I'm always happy to embrace the cultural celebrations of others. Bastille Day. Chinese New Year. Thanksgiving.
I am still recovering from the onslaught of antibiotics after that horrible (spider?) bite, so I was not able to attend the belated Thanksgiving celebration thrown by a good friend here in Paris.
I was a bit pouty, but I hear that some of K_Sam's delicious dinner rolls I was craving might have been put aside for us, so all is not lost. I'm thankful for friends who think of me. And I'm thankful for all the people who I've had the chance to meet through the podcast. And I'm thankful that my family is happy and healthy. And I'm thankful that the Muffin Man still sticks by me, through toe incidents and crazy infected insect bites.
Oh, and I'm kindof thankful that I didn't have to eat pumpkin pie. Cos really, who thought of that?

I loved my mom "tarte au potiron"
But is US pumkin pie potiron or citrouille ? Are they sweet or salty ?
Pumpkin pie in the US is sweet! And spicy-it has cloves and cinnamon and other good stuff in it-you taste the spice more than anything else. Its the consistency of a custard (because, well, it is a custard!).
We have such great turkey here that I don't ever miss the parts of the dinner that we don't usually find, such as the makings for cornbread stuffing. But oh, I do miss pumpkin pie. I need to dig out an old cookbook and make a classic American one, one of these years. I'll top it with whipped cream that has a little creme fraiche in it, just to remind me of where I am.
If you don't like it, you just haven't tried a really good one. (Now there is a convenient out...)
