Happy Thanksgiving and a giveaway!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving with your families, no matter what way you celebrate this occassion. I hope everyone has a great meal with great people. Don't forget to eat your veggies, not just turkey and stuffing!!! As for us, we will be going to one of Ryan's coworkers houses for Thanksgiving and everyone will be bringing some food, like pot luck style. I think we are doing deviled eggs and/or sweet potato casserole. Either way I will get pics up after the holiday.
One thing I am thankful for is not just my family, but my new family too...my husband and his family. I am thankful for the opportunities I have had and the good life I have with my friends, my job and where I live. I am thankful that everyone I know is healthy or that they are recovering. I am very thankful that I wake up everyday to a beautiful view and I can see the ocean. I am thankful to be experiencing the Azores right now, and so I want to share some of that experience with you.


TASTE OF THE AZORES GIVEAWAY

I know so many of you do giveaways with things you have been sent from companies and such, but I don't have the chance. I do want to do a giveaway, so I have been gathering up some local goodies, mostly foods, but I hope to have some other souvenirs in there too. Check out the goodies below. These are all either local to the Azores or from Portugal, with maybe an item or 2 from Europe in general.

Included:
Mini jams/jellies from the island of Sao Miguel
Fanta lemon zero
Kinder Bueno bar
Light pineapple coconut juice
Box of cereal
Raspberry dark chocolate bar
Green tea
AND MORE!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Melinda! I hope you guys have a great time at your potluck.

Please put me in the contest--I love that European food! If I could live anywhere in the world, it would probably be London. I love London. I think I could eat my way through that city forever! You are already in my blog roll (it's the yumlish reads tab on my homepage).

Happy Thanksgiving!

How fun!! I want to enter, please :) The dark chocolate is CALLING MY NAME! I've been obsessed with dark chocolate for the past couple weeks (more so than usual). If I could live anywhere I guess it would be Oregon. Nick and I want to live somewhere simple and beautiful, and not so depended on cars and energy. Oregon seems perfect!

I am glad you have so much to be thankful for, and I am super jealous of your ocean view :)

I will be posting about this giveaway on my post tomorrow! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving :)

What a cool giveaway! I bought a package of Pim's when I was in France. Loved them!!!

If I could live anywhere in the world... Hmmm! I'd love to live in South Carolina or in wine country in California. But my biggest dream is to be able to spend a lot of time in southwestern France. Wine and sunflowers fields...it's a dream come true!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Great contest, I'd definitely like to be entered. I haven't even HEARD of most of those products! They would be fun to try.

If I could move anywhere, it would be Barcelona, Spain. I lived there for a few months and it was such an amazing experience. I like the warmth very much :)

Thanks for the fun giveaway!
