27 Nov 2008
On this cold, crisp November day, I am grateful for Niccolo, Caterina, my husband, my parents, my wider family. I am grateful that we are healthy and have all we need. And most of all I am grateful because, despite work woes, gnawing parenting worries, and an unsettling sense of insecurity for the world’s financial and terrorism crises, we are managing to stay happy and have a laugh (well, most of the times, anyway).
On my table today:
fois gras with brioche
pumpkin soup with prosciutto
chicken with chestnut and bacon stuffing
spicy sweet potatoes
apple pie with vanilla ice cream
and the infamous, mutant cornucopia…

I wish you Italian Brits a very Happy American Thanksgiving! And I love the mutant cornucopia.
We are going to my cousins’ house for dinner tomorrow, and I am taking scalloped oysters and cranberries and pecan pies, all of which I just finished making. The pies come out of the oven in 10 minutes, and then tomorrow morning will be easy. Emma Rose really wants to make an apple pie, so we will do that in the morning and then go!
I hope your meal was great. It sounds DELICIOUS!
