American in the UK
So im doing a thanksgiving dinner. It just feels strange to have thanksgiving every year and it be a massive holiday and then just not do it ever again. Last year i spent it in Liverpool as it was a but depressing not to have it with my family back home so i wanted a distraction but this year since now having my daughter also, i decided to keep the tradition alive and im making a thanksgiving dinner for us and my inlaws.
Theyre super excited because they only know thanksgiving as they see it on tv. I told them im not going crazy just doing the traditional things like the turkey, mash potatoes, gravy, dressing/stuffing, green bean casserole and a pumpkin pie and apple pie. Some roast veg.
I never made so much from scratch though. I usually just buy the pies 🥧 but you cant buy a pumpkin pie in the uk, not any ive seen. Cant even find the canned pumpkin pie filling. Gotta look for sugar pumpkins.
Anyways i hope i nail it. Much pressure when im use to my mom doing all the cooking.
