Athens note:
We are having a Thanksgiving here, which I guess ends up being over 100 people and they have 11 turkeys. Each person who attends is expected to bring a dish. We had to sign up for something, and I picked dessert. Then I realize, everything I want to make, I'm not sure if I can get the ingredients for in Athens or I don't know where to go. I spent about 2-3 hours out today in four different stores and got almost everything, but I am going to do a test run because nothing is exactly what I wanted. For example white chocolate bar instead of almond bark and choco rice instead of rice crispies.
