It's the holiday season . . . Paul and I decided to celebrate Thanksgiving at home this year with some friends in Pune. It was a multi-cultural affair with Scots, Irish, English and Belgians present. We had a lovely spread of traditional American food for turkey dinner, but started with pigs-in-a-blanket, peppers and goat cheese wrapped in pastry, and Paul's cheese dips. For dessert, I made a pumpkin pie with my last can of pumpkin in the pantry and we had a delicious Belgian chocolate mousse. It was a great evening and we felt as though we were home, except for the hot temperature and lack of turkey.
