Justin was saying just the other day that he'd like to see more Americans up here. When he pops in for a visit I'll be sure to bring out the wine cooler as he never gives me advance warning. And yes, I LOVE the idea of gifting the platter with the food. That's brilliant. Happy American Thanksgiving. I hope you're thoroughly spoiled and that the pants are elasticized.
