The word I remember learning in high school French class for "turkey" is la dinde. But my handy dandy online English-to-French dictionary tells me that an alternative word for "turkey" is la turquie, pronounced very similar to our English word. Ooh, now I like turquie even better than before!And so it begins, this week of crowded grocery stores, digging up of favorite recipes {and recipes that are favorites-to-be, like anything out of the Betty Crocker Holiday Cookie recipe booklets that you find at grocery store cash registers--have you flipped through one of those lately?}, and wild preparation, all to gather friends and family 'round a table to enjoy a meal which means so much more than just turquie + mashed potatoes + cranberry sauce. {Though we love those, too.}
I love Thanksgiving. I love this day devoted solely to giving thanks for the really important stuff--the tangibles {like a roof over our heads and food in our bellies} and the intangibles {you know what those are}.

Unfortunately, I think la Turquie is just the french name for the country Turkey... But I'm not 100% sure.
Gorgeous pictures as usual, though!
Ha! Oh, Lola's, you're probably right. Oh well. I will just adopt "la turquie" as my own inside joke. I guess you all are in on it with me! Enjoy your "turquie" this week, my friends. :)
