Thanksgiving dinner in The Netherlands!

Around 10.00 this morning Linda stopped by and brought the neck and innards from the turkey they had purchased from the butcher at the Grote Markt (so I could make the gravy for dinner). Because the ovens are so small here, the turkey barely fit in their oven. The final cost for the turkey was 120 Euro...about 12 lbs. 

During the day, Andrew and I went downtown and stopped by the Blokker store and bought a few things to decorate for Christmas. 

We also went to the chocolate shop in town and bought a few things for gifts. We will only be sending a few things to the U.S. to the "children".

At around 1730, Bruce brought the pan full of sweet potatoes and pan of stuffing over so that we could bake them in our oven. We put them in around 1800hrs and it was ready by 1845...then we headed over to their house since they were hosting dinner.


Walnuts for the men and chestnuts for the women!



Where would you like to sit?!?

























It was a wonderful evening shared with friends and neighbors. We are truly blessed.
