A big "Happy Thanksgiving" to all across the pond!! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with family, friends, and lots of good food!! Unfortunately, it is just another Thursday here in Finland. J actually has a game today- I jokingly told him to try and tell them he needed "off" since it is a holiday... haha. Don't think they'd go for that one! Because of the games today and tomorrow, we'll be having our Thanksgiving celebration on Saturday. I cannot wait for turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and all the goodies... not to mention apple pie!! Yummm. We will be having the other two American guys on the team over to our place also. Had to make sure they got a real Thanksgiving meal too!
Turkeys aren't as easy to come by in Finland. They definitely have them... but there aren't nearly as many at the stores. I haven't seen them fresh, only frozen... and they're EXPENSIVE!! We bought a 4.05 kg turkey (9 lbs.) for 26 euros ($35). Compare that to .50-.99 cents/lb. at home, and you'd think our turkey was made of gold!! We are just happy to be having turkey on Thanksgiving (well, or two days after...) regardless of the cost. It just better taste good!! :)
Even though we are far away from family and friends, there is a lot to be thankful for this year. I hope you all can say the same! Don't eat too much turkey! ;)
