Thanksgiving and not a turkey in sight. Well as it turns out, I'm off the hook for planning Thanksgiving activities for my class, they have an exam today. Which is sad becuase I was actually looking forward to hand turkeys. Completely by coninsciencedence (no idea how to spell that one), the faculty is having a special lunch in Mojacar today. Of course we have to pay for it but it's supposed to be excellent food. The Tex-Mex feast shall have to wait.
The English club went... well. The students were pretty excited to have a club outside of class and they were extremely energetic. It was a bit chaotic and I was hoping to be able to have fun and relax with them but I realized that, more than ever, I have to have control.It was fun though, we made ID cards and they had to come up with nicknames in English. Mine is "high muckamuck" coming from the Native American word meaning "very important person" ya think that sends a clear enough signal to them?
I have to take a moment to relate the glory that is my mother's Curry Pumpkin Soup. If I had to choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, that would be it. To me, it sums up autumn and home all in one. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to continue the tradition here due to lack of suitable pumpkins (remember the Halloween fiasco) but I decided to give the bulbous green squash a try, and it turned out alright; although I had to go to an international market to find dried,hot red peppers (Spaniards shy away from anything that might even be a hint spicey). Which means more soup for me! In short, I am thankful for curry pumpkin soup!
¡Happy Día de Acción de Gracias!
