I decided for the first time in years and years, to cook a small Thanksgiving dinner for me and the R.H. Of course, since Thanksgiving is not a holiday here, in the past I always had classes on Thanksgiving, morning and late afternoon/evening, so never bothered with all that preparation just for the two of us.

But this year, since I am not teaching this semester, and have the R.H. at home, I thought it would be a nice treat.

In the other city I lived in, much much bigger with more Americans, there were turkeys and fixin's in the supermarkets all of November. But here in my little city, where us gringos probably number a dozen, if that, there are no turkeys! NONE. Finally I did find some frozen legs, which the R.H. likes and I don't, and boxed seasoned frozen turkey breast. So I bought that for me. Of course, no stuffing mixes, and how do you stuff a frozen breast anyway? LOL

And up until today, there were no cans or envelopes of turkey gravy. I had visions of trying to remember how to make gravy from scratch. But today. Hooray! Canned turkey gravy. Four cans. I bought all they had.

So looks like Thanksgiving dinner of a sort will happen here after all. I might even invite a few friends. Or not. I'll see how it goes.
