Il Giorno del Ringraziamento

Thanksgiving in Italy is like any other day: grown ups go to work, children go to school, stores keep their usual hours. Instead of celebrating with a big feast, my daughter & I have fallen into the habit of jumping straight to the turkey sandwiches (which was always my favorite part about the Thanksgiving turkey) & making an autumn-y dessert.

And so I went to the Mercato Centrale (a two-story indoor market near San Lorenzo church) to pick up a pumpkin for the pie, as well as some other produce. Everything grouped together on my large wooden chopping board brought to mind a horn-of-plenty: shown are Pink Lady apples, Abate pears, persimmons, clementines & carrots, as well as the pumpkin...certainly much to be thankful for.
