Happy Thanksgiving
A Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
The Handsome Swede and I decided at the last minute that we would celebrate the holiday, and went to the supermarket around eight at night. We bought a whole chicken, and potatoes for mashing, and a Swedish cheese cake.
The chicken turned out divine -- we baked it in rosemary and olive oil and garlic and black pepper and fresh lemon. It was moist and tender and delicious. The mashed potatoes, however, led to a wee altercation. CERTAIN people wanted them with skins on, others with skins off. But the potatoes were very delicious as well in the end. We made gravy with the run-off from the roast chicken, and so the gravy was rich and rosemary flavored.
The Swedish cheese cake turned out to taste like an almond rice pudding. We ate it with whipped cream and giant blackberries. The entire dinner was scrumptious.
So I think tonight I had my first Thanksgiving dinner since 2001. THS had his first Thanksgiving ever.

HA! I like the image of you celebrating the Pilgrims' survival that first year in... Stockholm! You didn't quite give THS the full American experience, however. For that, you would have needed to drag him out of bed at 4 a.m. so that you could stand in line at some block dept store to buy cheap plastic crap that you neither need nor can afford. I'm just sayin'... Love, Ellie
