We decided to hold our Swiss Thanksgiving on Sunday evening. For this fabulously kitschy even we brought Stouffer's Stuffing, Kirby''s Pumpkin Pie Mix, French fried onions and Alabama Muscadine table wine (yuck!).
We began our day with the dissapointing revelation that the pretty dyed eggs we bought at the store yesterday were hardboiled. What is an American family in Bern going to do when all the grocery stores are closed!? That's right, go to the local 24 hour farm!
Amelie with the cows
Its really quite fitting that there is a farm on every street corner. The farm is about a two minute drive from the house and has fresh eggs, milk, sausage and syrups available from a vending machine. You can also walk through the stables and see the cows who each have their own pens and plaques inscribed with their name and birthdate.
My favorite cow, Rosalie
The Ponies
We could not celebrate Thanksgiving without our 50 franc turkey weighing in at 8 lbs. Our resident surgeon did the honor of cutting the turkey.
