Happy Thanksgiving Weekend

The Myers, food & pies I didn't cook (but happily devoured)
and some card games I of course won! :)

Happy Thanksgiving! Just wanted to put up a quick post about our turkey day in Prague. Hopefully you all are stuffed with lots of savory turkey and dressing and filled with plenty of time with family. We are winding down our trip here in Prague...only one week left here before a 3 day stop in Munich and onto North America! 

As for our Thanksgiving, Dan and I were here enjoying lots of food, some American football, a few games of cards and lots of skyping. We don't have an oven in our apartment here and our stove has only two very small eyes so even making dinner on a regular basis is a challenge. A full Thanksgiving meal was out of the question. 

I did some research and found a specialty store that brings in some different items for Americans and Brits. For example you can find marmite, nutri grain bars, and some other specialty items. They also prepare foods for traditional American and British holidays. So I ordered a full meal for us from them, picked it up that morning and nuked it all in the microwave when we were ready to eat! For someone that love love loves to cook it was a bit sad to have a holiday full of take out containers, but not having to clean the kitchen was a prize!

We had salad, pumpkin soup (for me) and corn chowder (for dan), turkey, mashed potatoes, a little stuffing, gravy, a slice of pumpkin pie and a slice of pecan pie. Overall the food was delicious. Much better than I was expecting. 

Tonight we are heading to a Czech League Hockey game where a few big names from the NHL are playing right now. We spent today getting Dan and haircut and wandering through a Christmas market. Basically we are trying to stay busy to keep our minds off of the Notre Dame game tomorrow night! 

Big day planned for tomorrow- we are going on a walking tour of David Cerny's sculptures all over the city....check back Monday for a recap of that tour. He is an interesting bird. Then we will be holed up in our apartment from 4 pm on watching all things football- Game Day, Michigan vs. Ohio State, Alabama vs. Auburn and finally at 2 am Notre Dame vs. USC. Ahhhh! We are beyond excited. 

Hope you all had a great holiday and are steering clear of Black Friday madness. Just a little over 10 days and we are back! Check back in the next few weeks for posts about the end of Prague and our trip to Munich.
