Part of the fun of learning other languages is sharing cultural traditions – after all why learn the language if you can’t also appreciate the culture?<\/p>\n

To that end, we celebrated the American holiday of Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 28th.\u00a0 We spent the day discussing the history of the holiday<\/span> (the help the Pilgrims got from the Native Americans learning to plant and harvest food in the New World) traditional foods that Americans eat on this holiday,<\/span> (turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and of course, pumpkin pie!) and what Americans do and and watch<\/span> (American football and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.)<\/p>\n

In Year 1 and Year 2, we also took a moment to reflect on how lucky we are and the things we are grateful for.\u00a0 We wrote our messages of thanks and hung them on our \u00abThanksgiving tree.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Finally, to round off our celebration, we shared mini pumpkin pies with whipped cream.\u00a0 The sweet treat was a hit, so here is the recipe for anyone who is interested!\u00a0 Bon App\u00e9tit!<\/p>\n

TARTA DE CALABAZA<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n

ANTES DE NADA\u2026<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n

Es conveniente empezar diciendo que el pur\u00e9 de calabaza en Estados Unidos se compra ya enlatado, sin embargo en Espa\u00f1a la compramos como verdura fresca y la asamos o cocemos. El m\u00e9todo m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido para asarla es lavarla bien, cortarla en trozos. Desplegar papel de aluminio o papel vegetal en una bandeja del horno y poner los trozos bocabajo. Una vez asados, se separan de la c\u00e1scara f\u00e1cilmente con una cuchara. Despu\u00e9s, la batimos o licuamos con ayuda de alg\u00fan aparato. \u00a1Ahora ya est\u00e1 todo listo para comenzar!<\/p>\n
