Cath's Cache: Thanks for Thanksgiving!

01 December 2014

Thanks for Thanksgiving!

Yesterday we were treated to a Thanksgiving feast!

Our wonderful American friends had spent days planning and creating a luncheon for a group of their Italian and expat friends.

Turkey-shaped dishes and pumpkin ornaments decorated the table along with colourful Autumn maple leaves.

The 4 course menu included Italian specialties (focaccia, ravioli and pannetone) as well as seasonal flavours (pumpkin and tartufo).

While I'm sure our hosts wanted a successful event, I'm not sure they expected their guests to be there until 7pm!

About Me

I am middle aged. My partner is Stuart. I have no children of my own but I do share 2 stepchildren and 4 nieces and nephews. I love words. In 2008, my partner and I purchased a 200 year old stone house and 5 acres of forest surrounding it in Piemonte, Italy. We spent the next year dreaming about it before we tossed our global careers to the wind and moved there. We knew we didn't have enough money to last long but we wanted to test our dream to see if it really was everything we thought it would be. It was. Far too quickly our money ran out so we returned to the Pacific and worked 2 years in Australia and 1 year in Papua New Guinea. We have recently counted our pennies again, resigned and returned to our little slice of history in Italy. I write about the challenges that beset us here and the joy of the simple lifestyle that is our dream...
