My first Thanksgiving as a host


Thanksgiving is an american holiday, so it's all new for me, but I love it. The idea of focusing our thoughts on the good things that happened and of being thankful for what we have is great. Also, the food is amazing.

Last year I was already living in the US in Thanksgiving, but it was only Scott and myself. This year we hosted Jennifer and Nick (Scott's mom and stepfather, who came from Jacksonville to spend some days with us) and one of Nick's grandsons, David, who lives here in San Diego.

We cooked like crazy - made the pies on Wednesday night and started making dinner on Thursday morning - but everything was perfect. We had a very pleasant day.

My first review


Apparently I'm not the only one to like my book. This little article was published by O Estado de S. Paulo, the most important newspaper in São Paulo, Brazil. So much fun!

* It sounds really glamorous when they say "written by the journalist..., who lives between São Paulo and San Francisco". Sounds like they're talking about some jet setter.
