Jejejejeje :jeje: Yeah Candela, and I thought ena was an angel just for putting up with me day in and day out.

Hmmmmmmm... I only counted 7 leftover bottles of wine in the morning (NO, I was not hung-over Wink ) so me thinks guests took bottles home with them.

My special thanks to Chad as well, a huge help in the kitchen, and he did not even need to put an apron on like I did. A true master caterer Cool

Well, we could not have had a nicer group of people at Thanksgiving Big Grin

All the food was INCREDIBLE!!!

Gotta go, turkey samich in the oven heating up Big Grin

I just want to chime in with thanks to Jer and Ena for having us. Like Candela, I love Thanksgiving and thursday was like home away from home. We were both exhausted and a little out of it after I fell and threw half of my gravy all over Jer�s neighbor�s front step but it was just so cozy and friendly inside that we immediately relaxed. Now that Jos� has seen how easy and fun it is to hang out with a bunch of guiris I am sure we will be attending or even hosting ( we sign the papers for our new place next week) Big Grin My only regret is that I did not have a chance to talk to everyone but there is always next time. I will post the stuffing recipe but I want to get this thank you off before my computer freezes up on me again. This is my third attempt!! Razzer Thank you all!!!

And for the record, not sure if anyone even noticed but we had a MAJOR turnout of Spaniards at our Thanksgiving dinner, more than at any other multimadrid gathering ...

All Thanksgiving get togethers should be held at Jer's place.

Trooping up and down those stairs (30-40 floors at least) is sure to work off the excess pounds.

(20 pounds less than when last we met)

I keep seeing this word "guiris" what does it mean and how is it pronounced?

The word guiri is a word that Spaniards use to refer to "US" the foreigners... It's pronounced like the adjective 'giddy' in English. At least, that's my take on it.

Though it's generally a pejorative term, I kind of like it and it doesn't offend me as it can, in some cases, be used an affectionate term. It all depends on who's saying it and how they're saying it.

:cheers:

Gringa! I hope you have tried this diet before!!! Boiling a head of cabbage for two hours really leaves a wonderful smell in the house! Wink

Hi there,

I too want to thank Jer, Ena, and everyone else that contributed to such incredible "food-feast".
And....I want Candy, Becky, Juliette and Desha to PLEEEEEEEASEEE post the recipes for their super-yummy dishes (the carrots, the rolls, the beans, and the mushrooms....)
To me the cutest thing was seeing how some folks "broadcasted" their greetings to their respective relatives back in the US, live from Madrid's Plaza Mayor through the webcam. Big Grin
Jer, I must say I didn't fully realize how succulent your turkey was -among all that great food!- until I ate the leftovers you gave me for breakfast the next day,....mmmmm, estaba buen�simo!!! :l:

Whenever I�ve had to lose weight, I�ve followed this diet and lost it right away, as long as I�ve exercised at least an hour a day on top.

breakfast: tea without sugar
snack: piece of fruit
lunch: large salad with no meat or oil
dinner: another salad or something hot like soup.

Veggies burn off right away as long as you stay active. If you�ve got the will power, it�s an easy diet. Do it for a month and you�ll see the results.

Maybe in the US but with the irresistible gastronomy in Spain that diet would be IMPOSSIBLE to follow :jeje:

Besides, we should all learn to love our excess kilillos --> www.antena3tv.com/migordabella Big Grin :ks:

hey all.

due to quite a few e-mails from board members and friends asking about thanksgiving this year, i just wanted to pop in here and post that there is no multimadrid thanksgiving turkey bash this year.

still recuperating from last year and the 30+ peeps over at our place Mad (read this thread FROM THE START for details).

hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving 2004, it is a mellow dinner at home for ena and i this year (sorry, no webcast :jeje: ).

also hope to organize another mm turkey blast for 2005 :cheers: will keep you posted.

saludos,
jer...
