Do you have a Thanksgiving day in Kenya?

Yeah, course the Kenyans celebrate the British coming to colonise 'em - who wouldn't ? Now kicking the Brits out of Kenya - oh yeah, they certainly do, but not quite the same thing.

No, Thanksgiving is not a conquering type of holiday, it is taking stock of life, counting your blessings and being grateful...and pie. most of us are grateful for the pie.

You guys are too much today. Good thing I'm busy working....

Hi Friday - seems to be one of those days and long may they continue! Don't work too hard - not good for the soul.

Really? I understood it to be a celebration of the tenacity of settlers etc etc. But I agree that pies are always celebration-worthy (particularly steak pies, gravy and chips - fries to you). Will be one of my first meals when I go back to Blighty.

It was about surviving another year.

But by the time we made it a holiday it became more of a day of gratitude.
England, as I understand, has a thanksgiving day also.

Considering politics here, it is probably a day of gratitude for being shed of us.

Okay, Kids, making a big pan of sweet and sour red cabbage to be served with T - bone steak and baked potatoes. Anyone available for supper?

I need 24 hours advance notice to get to there. jet blue is reasonable, but the schedule isn't always useful.

Cabbage is always better when reheated.
