St. Clement I, Pope, Martyr

St. Clement I was a companion and a disciple of Ss. Peter and Paul, and the third successor of St. Peter. He was exiled by the emperor Trajan and cast into the sea in 100.

Now for some pictures of our Thanksgiving celebrations last night.

Happy Thanksgiving! Here we are at a table with a couple from India, another from England, and another from Russia and Germany. Our first international Thanksgiving!

What shall I say here? Fried turkey (everything is fried here); pink mashed potatoes (can't say why they were pink); cooked carrots; pumkin soup (which was pretty good).

Hello, from Maria!

The desserts were made by the ITI womenfolk and were therefore much better than the rest of the food. Above is Lisa's contribution - quite good!

After dinner we stopped by for a peak at the Thanksgiving Ball hosted by Franciscan U of S. The dress and the dancing were traditional Austrian (lots of lederhosen and dirndls).

They make soup out of pumpkins, but not pies!? Come home now!

Kind of ridiculous, isn't it? Lisa'a apple pie was fabulous though.

They deep fry turkey here in the south as well. Weird! We just roasted ours.
