Thanksgiving is not a holiday celebrated in Costa Rica .... so as expat Canadians we tend to forget about it. If you wanted to prepare a traditional Canadian Thanksgiving dinner, you might be hard pressed to find a turkey to cook. Frozen turkeys are imported in time for the USA Thanksgiving and also Christmas but they are very expensive.
Our friend and neighbor didn't forget us though. Sharon stopped by our house this past weekend with this for us:
Included in the pretty bag were Sharon's homemade muffins and brownies - what a treat. The card reads, "Dear Diana and Lance, Happy Thanksgiving to you, our wonderful vesinos (neighbors), con abrazos (with love), Sharon and Diogi". Diogi is Sharon's Border collie that we have cared for from time to time.
I must not forget the USA Thanksgiving, since Sharon is from Washington State. She might like some British Columbia Nanaimo bars. We live in the best neighborhood with wonderful neighbors.

Love your post and great neighbors. I also miss pumpkin pie :)

Thank you! I made a reasonable facsimile of pumpkin pie one year by using canned pejibayes. You could hardly tell the difference. I'll see if I can find the recipe.
Wow! Great idea!
I would be supportive on all your articles and blogs as a result of they are simply up to the mark.
