Today is my borrowed day off…
In America, it could be argued that Thanksgiving is bigger than Christmas, considering we get a Thursday AND a Friday off. Two days in a row! Unheard of!
Pumpkins are everywhere. Stores sold out of turkeys. Everyone claims a time-honoured family recipe for stuffing. The streets of San Francisco are empty. And I think everyone’s watching the game. In honour of the holiday, I made a lemony roast chicken with mashed yams in apple cider, and acorn squash for dinner last night. My gentle twist on a theme. Everyone indulged me.
So before I set off on my annual morning jog up to Lyon Street stairs with Alan, followed by a smoked salmon shmeer sesame bagel at Noah’s on Chestnut, and bloody mary’s while baking dessert for tonight’s feast, I wanted to take some time out to wish you, all my American brothers and sisters, a very Happy Thanksgiving Day!
PS. Don’t let all that champagne make you forget stores open at 4am tomorrow!!!
