It looks like we will be celebrating Christmas in Istanbul too as our travel budget has been depleted. Friends are what make the days go by so fast for me!<br /><br />@Joyce, thank you! You know how many hours it goes into preparing a meal like this too.<br /><br />@Kim, the grits recipe turned out really great! Everyone loved it! Who knew? ;-) The key is lots of butter and chicken stock. I used old-fashioned stone ground yellow grits from Charleston. I'll either post or send you the recipe soon.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-40622405455147136872012-11-23T13:17:39.744-05:002012-11-23T13:17:39.744-05:00It all looks incredible!

It was great to have our British neighbor and her Italian-American hubby at our table. Would you be so kind to share your shrimp-n-grits recipe? Living in the Carolinas this I want to love this dish but have yet to find the recipe I enjoy enough to duplicate it! Happy Thanksgiving a day late...or two with the time difference!

I am starting to pull together all the bits for our English/ Finnish/ Austrian Christmas in Istanbul. I, like you, just feel incredibly grateful for the extraordinary group of friends that we have made here. And the hours Ville puts in to keep our whole complicated family funded! I am really looking forward to your Christmas posts....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565976784255470989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-34710041962434387852012-11-23T12:19:40.719-05:002012-11-23T12:19:40.719-05:00J's patience and tolerance - again!J's patience and tolerance - again!Alanhttp://archersofokcular.comnoreply@blogger.com
