Thanksgiving in Napoli




Thanksgiving was our first holiday in Napoli, away from home. And it was great. We had a volunteer team here last week. They were from Sulphur, Louisiana. It was good to have a little bit of home here in Napoli! On America's Thanksgiving day, we had a big dinner at Peppe and Assunta's house with the volunteer team. It was good time with good food and way too many people in that house.
Our team celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday. We had way too much food, but it was so so good. Apparently no one outside of Acadiana eats rice dressing for Thanksgiving. Which I think is silly because that is the best part of Thanksgiving dinner. Anyway, that's what I wanted, so that is what I had to cook. Except that became difficult when I realized there was no Richard's rice dressing mix here or a rice pot to cook my rice in. But being the amazing cook I am, I managed, and I made some real good rice dressing from scratch. All of the food was good, and again I ate so much I felt sick. That seems to be something I do a lot here. I need to join a gym, soon.
Yesterday I wasn't feeling good. But I got a lot of rest and today I'm doing better. Good thing.
The Saints are 11-0 and that means the world is all good! WHO DAT!!! the saints are going to the super bowl. Of course. when i'm not in america!


here are some pictures of our already eaten thanksgiving meal.
