Texas Meets Germany: Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed time home with your family :) I really hope you did, because, Thanksgiving and the Holidays are just not the same when you're not at home (no matter how crazy you think your family is and no matter how cool of a place you're in). I never valued the purpose of Thanksgiving so much - just taking a break from the normal hussle and bussle and spending time bonding with your family. Thanksgiving is more than just good food and football (tough loss Aggies, of a game and a great tradition).

I definitley was sad to miss Thanksgiving in Texas. But, I was so excited to get to celebrate Thanksgiving here at the Vuksanovic house! We had a great time! It was so special for me :) In case you didn't know, cooking and baking is COMPLETELY different here. So, it was quite a challenge to find and translate ingrediants. We made a bread stuffing, sweet potatoeos, green bean cassarole, a turkey of course, gravy, and pumpkin pie (from a real pumpkin!). Nevena and I somehow seemed to managed quite well, I think, and we had a wonderful meal together with a few of my friends.
