Turkey Day!!!

もう過ぎていますが、アメリカでは、11月の第4木曜日はThanks Giving Dayという祝日です。今年は11月25日がその日。この日は、ほとんどのビジネスが休業し、皆家族で七面鳥を食べるのが伝統になっています。私たちもアメリカにいた頃には毎年七面鳥の丸焼きを食べていたのですが、日本に来てからは七面鳥は手に入らないだろうとあきらめていたのです。。が、、今年の初めころ日本でも七面鳥が手に入ることを知り(アメリカからの輸入物)、今年はなんと念願の七面鳥をネットオーダーしましたっ！！というわけで、写真は我が家が今夜いただいた七面鳥のBefore/After写真＾＾；　七面鳥のほかにも、ゆで野菜、マッシュポテト、クランベリーゼリーなどを一緒に食べます。七面鳥を食べるのが初めてだった私の両親も大喜びでした。来年もまたアメリカ式のThanks Givingができると思うとうれしいです。スコッチもオーシャンも七面鳥のかけらを食べて喜んでいました。

It's already past though, the 4th Thursday of November is called "Thanks giving day" in the States. November 25th was the day this year and almost all businesses are to be closed so that everybody can get together with their family to have roasted turkey dishes as the tradition. We used to cook turkey on Thanks giving when we were in the States, but we'd given up on it since we moved to Japan. However,,, we found out in the beginning of this year that we could actually purchase turkeys here in Japan as well(impoprted one from the states) and we did order one on the internet this year!! Photos are the before/after shots of turkey and the thanks giving plate we had today. People usually have boiled vegetables and mushed potato and cranberry jelly etc... other than turkey.My parents really enjoyed their very first turkey meat. We are very excited that we can do this again next year. Scotch and Ocean also enjoyed bits and pieces of the turkey very much.
