We celebrated our 5th Thanksgiving this year in Pecetto. And of course having Nonni Coletti around made it extra special and possible in many ways. They distracted, played with, and kept Luca out of trouble while preparations were made, they peeled 20lbs of potatoes, and graciously offered their apartment for the event itself. La Pasta Fresca shop once again offered to raise, butcher and cook the turkeys for us. We ended up with 2 stuffed birds weighing a combined 15kg (33lbs). Between the tasty hors' devours, the turkey and everything that goes with it, and desserts a plenty, we only finished off one turkey among 33 adults. Thus, an excuse to eat the remaining bird the following week with 15 pecettesi. By the end of it, we all thought it might be possible to have too much of a good thing.
We ended the party with our usual Thanksgiving roundtable, giving thanks for landladies, nonni, husbands and wives, english lessons, good friends, good wine, turkey, and one bun in the oven. :)
