I'm thankful to spend Thanksgiving once again at our friends' ranch, surrounded by old and new friends here in Uruguay.  I'm missing my family something fierce, but at the same time, I'm happy to be in Uruguay.
     We Americans, Canadians, and Ecuadorians somehow manage a Thanksgiving meal complete with everything but the turkey; we cook chickens instead.  We all gather and bring food.  There was dressing (stuffing for those who say that), sweet potatoes, pies, cheesecake, rolls, and more.  
       Here's the link to my ever so wonderful PUMPKIN PECAN CHEESECAKE - a bit of Thanksgiving in every bite!  It was a big hit!   I've also made a SWEET POTATO CHEESECAKE for our Thanksgiving celebrations.  Both versions of cheesecake scream fall and Thanksgiving!
​      Our hosts are always so gracious to have us.   This year was highlighted by the mighty men gathering together to move a coffee table and carpet.  No idea why - I was into the wine by that time.  It was our entertainment!  I swear they wanted to take measurements...
