Thanksgiving
After some poultry knife (Deba) work, and some cracking of bones, we slipped the turkey into our oven, and I'll be damned if the thing wasn't ready in under an hour. Definitely the way to go.
It was a pretty nice spread: stuffing, turkey (delicious and moist), roasted garlic mashed potatoes, orange-cranberry sauce (we found the cranberries at Picard, and they were waaay better than berries -- small, tart and flavorful) and then pecan pie, apple crumble and pumpkin pie. Nice.

Weekend in Annot!
Since we would be missing halloween, I convinced (forced) the kids to wear the costumes I had brought back from the states, and took some photos of them along the way
In front of the Mont Aiguille !
And up the road from a town near Annot, where Chloe and I had once stayed in a *terrible* hotel. They served us grey gnocchi.
I managed to do "Choupette Magique" without too much trouble and then Chloe and I fell off "la Dalle qui rend fou" until the light ran out.
The next day, after some aeropress coffee, we went back up the hill to the paf le chien and rue du plaisir, And Virage sud sectors.
We headed back to the farm once darkness fell, and we ate raclette -- using the raclette machine that we brought down from Grenoble. Zoe and I showed everyone how to make S'mores, improvising a bit with speculos cookies instead of Graham crackers.
The next day it was off to the Madness sector for some of the old classics. Chloe did an old project of hers called "Bachotage", as well as a new one -- Bacaulareat.
There was just the small matter of driving home! Not too bad with the Fall colors though
