Happy Thanksgiving, Americanos! I honoured your annual turkey massacre with some local peeps this year. I brought delicious pie as my sacrifice to the great harvest god!* I know he will be glad of it, though I am a month late and far from home!
Seriously, it was a good time, I am glad I had a chance to see these folks again - some of whom are on LJ and who I must track down. Soooo muuuuuuch fooooood! All the traditional bits, plus a turkey cordon bleu. I'm still full, and we finished eating hours ago. And yes,
tethys123, there is some left over Pie :V

Although she doesn't mention my favourite histiorical fallacy, which is that really, the 'Celts' as a people, and their druids, were mostly in Germany, France, and Spain!
