This week marks my 13th Thanksgiving in Ireland since moving here in 2008. Each year has felt different, but this one will feel the strangest since my dad has died. But I’m rounding up my favorite recipes and looking back on old posts.
This is like the special holiday episode of your favorite TV show when they’d go around the table and say what they’re thankful for and reflect on a special moment in the previous year with a flashback to that episode. I always thought those were the most boring episodes, but they have meaning now as an adult when I myself have so many episodes to look back on.
