Poor Beorn is not a fan of Thanksgiving. The cooking sounds like many other holidays, but there are fewer bits and pieces he’s given while I’m prepping things because potatoes are not a guinea pig’s friend. And we had potatoes three ways (mashed potatoes, cottage fries, and balsamic sweet potatoes). Still, he enjoyed the parsley leftovers and the ends of celery. But it was a little heartbreaking to watch him stand on his hind legs, his face hopeful, as he wheeked at me in the kitchen to give him a bite of whatever I was chopping.
How was your Thanksgiving?

We had a nice time at my sister’s. The dogs were disappointed that they didn’t get to share the feast.
We had our Thanksgiving back in October, so it was mostly a non-event here — although dh did watch some football, lol. My mother (born & raised in Minnesota ) & dad had turkey dinner with some other American expats in the small town where they live. They’ve been doing it for years — one woman always hosts and does the turkey, while everyone else brings sides — but I think this was the first time since the pandemic.
Poor Beorn! Of course, Thanksgiving is not a thing here. But I did get together with friends, and one of them brought a pecan pie with a nod to the US Thanksgiving holiday, and we were all indeed very thankful to spend time together.
