I hope that everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving! As always, I am heading home to my parents home in Maine for the holiday. One of the perks of marrying a Brit is always getting to spend Thanksgiving with my family, which is such a treat since my parents are incredible cooks.
Tonight I am heading to the 10th annual Friendsgiving - which means I need to go to the store and purchase 10 pounds of potatoes to mash! Have a wonderful weekend. I will be back on Monday with my favorite Thanksgiving Leftover Soup recipe.
