Happy Thanksgiving one and all!  We went to the dinner at the school.  It was Thanksgiving Italian style.  There were typical local appetizers and sparkling wine before dinner followed by boneless stuffed turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy.  They had something they called American potatoes that were vaguely sweet but greenish in color and a strange but tasty corn bread made from polenta.  The wine was made next door at the agricultural college and the desserts were all Italian.  Not a pumpkin pie nor an apple crisp to be seen.  It was a good time though with about 200 people of all ages packed into the cafeteria.  Now to sleep because I'm off at the break of dawn tomorrow with an old friend for a 24 hour trip to Menton on the French Riviera.  More on that later.  xxoo me
