So Saturday was Thanksgiving in the States and the girls in the Playroom Cottage hosted a full on Thanksgiving dinner and it was brilliant - it was a charity event actually, we all paid €10 and the girls managed to get almost everything donated by either the school or suppliers and stall holders at the Farmers' Market which was brilliant because most of the money raised then could be kept as a donation to the India Fund, a Mumbai-based charity which the school supports - the school also matched whatever was raised and in the end the total figure was well over €1,000, really good!
There were about 45 of us and dinner was fab, so great to have Christmas dinner in November and know that there's another one still to come - turkey, gammon, roast pots, roast artichokes, parsnip and pumpkin mash, caramelised brussel sprouts, stuffing and gravy, bet you're looking forward to Christmas after reading that!
There was mulled wine on arrival, the perfect thing to defrost with, it was bloody freezing and so of course I needed quite a bit of it........................soaked it up with bruschetta to start, main course as above and then pecan pie and apple tart for pud, what more could you ask for, I love Thanksgiving. And I won a raffle prize, a massage at Ballymaloe House, YAY!
