November is one of my favorite months. I love the Holiday season and the preparation for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year we will be celebrating in Peru. I will be making Thanksgiving dinner for my first time ever! I haven't gone looking to see what they have available for a traditional style thanksgiving dinner. (I'm not even sure if they they have Turkey!) I'm looking forward to the challenge though
I have to say I thank God for the foodtv website and allrecipes.com without them I would be making everything up as I go along because I did not bring any cookbooks.
As I have mentioned before it is Spring here. Which feels really strange. I want to decorate the house with fall colors but everywhere I go there are pinks and purples and signs that say "welcome spring!" It feels a little weird. I have to admit though It was cold when we got here in August and I am ready for it to get warm (the weather here plays at getting warmer, then there is yet another cold snap and I spend my days in the house wrapped in a blanket) My children are getting stir crazy too they need to spend days in the park releasing their wiggles. So as much as I want to decorate the house like it's fall I am really happy that Spring is here.
I have begun a daily habit of drinking tea here. I have always liked tea. I mean I drink it when I go to starbucks and whenever I'm wanting a warm caffeinated beverage (I'm not much for coffee, though I have tried to be) I'm usually a cold drink girl though. Sweet tea (I'm southern alright?), coke and water almost frozen are generally how I roll. My favorite kind of hot tea here is Hierba Louisa. MMmmMM.
So anyway, I've been thinking of doing a giveaway on here. Peru is home to some of the best chocolate, and coffee (I hear). Plus they have some pretty cool little handmade things, and we can't forget the tea. So anyway. I'm still looking into the logistics of sending a package to the states and what I can/can't send etc...But if you want me to do a giveaway, comment on this post (with your name if you post anonymously) If I get enough responses I will do one
how weird...spring when your internal clock says winter is coming...
ReplyDeleteI drink hot tea daily too, but I love my tea with a little cream in it. Like you I am not much of a coffie drinker but I do love hot tea with cream yummmmm... In Jesus name you will find a turkey, and I am sure your Thanksgiving dinner will turn out great.

ReplyDeleteok whoever left the last 2 comments. I don't think ya'll actually read my post. :p please include your name if you post anonymously
ReplyDeletethank you
Hey, girl! How's life treating you? How was Piura? Hope you had an unadventurous trip!!
ReplyDeleteAs for the teas ~ Hierba Luisa is delish! My favorite (beside Mate heh) is Te de Anis. It's so mild there. But you must try the coffee, too, especially from the Junin region - it's so tasty, but non-acidic. Catch a fresh truckload in the market ~ you will convert!!! :D
Hang on ~ summer's coming! Don't forget to eat a paneton D'Onofrio for me for Christmas!!!
@Alemi it was good. not what I expected, but really what is anymore? lol I'll have to look into the coffee. everyone I know drinks instant which drives me crazy. it's like going to the coast and eating at long john silvers the whole time.
ReplyDeleteROFL!!! - What a great comparison! :P
ReplyDeleteGuess what I found this week in Dallas??? PANETON D'ONOFRIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I now have nine more panetones - we may beat last year's record of 21 at the rate we're going. :D
So what were you expecting, and what did it turn out to be? I know God has great things in store, and He won't ask of us more than we can handle ~ my prayer for you is that He gives you tasks you can complete JOYFULLY!!! <3 u!!
