because the dutch don’t celebrate thanksgiving

also because we don’t have big ole turkeys in the supermarkets here. they  have to be special-ordered from butchers – and that’s expensive

so – in honor of america – yesterday’s thanksgiving menu was hamburgers, potato salad and apple pie. apple pie is something the dutch do very well, except they call it “appeltaart”. there’s no piecrust – instead it’s something sort of like a thin, spongey, buttery layer of cake that sits underneath the apples

I made enough to have leftovers because thanksgiving leftovers are a tradition not to be broken, right ?
