2011 Thanksgiving Dinner

I've been gone all week to San Antonio, Texas to celebrate our Thanksgiving with my brother and his large family. This image shows what I devoured. Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with marshmellows melted on top, cranberry sauce, carrots, greeen bean casserole with crispy onions on top, gravy and pecan pie for dessert. Sorry I couldn't share with each and every one of you...my family in Greece.
Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. It has officially been an annual tradition since 1863, when during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated on Thursday, November 26.[1] As a federal and popular holiday in the U.S., Thanksgiving is one of the major holidays of the year. Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader holiday season.

The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated to give thanks to God for guiding them safely to the New World.[2] The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days, providing enough food for 53 Pilgrims and 90 Native Americans.[3] The feast consisted of fish (cod, eels, and bass) and shellfish (clams, lobster, and mussels), wild fowl (ducks, geese, swans, and turkey), venison, berries and fruit, vegetables (peas, pumpkin, beetroot and possibly, wild or cultivated onion), harvest grains (barley and wheat), and the Three Sisters: beans, dried Indian maize or corn, and squash.[2][4][5][6] The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating "thanksgivings"—days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.[7]

You gave me many memories from Texas and San Antonio.
You must take a photo from The Torch of Friendship……because the two columns signify two countries, two languages, two cultures..........
