Not willing to give up on this American tradition, we go shopping for Thanksgiving. And we drive over an hour to do it!
We heard about a store in the town of Ranaana that caters to American style brands and types of food, being that Ranaana has a large population of Anglos living there.
So, folks.....WE GO TO MEATLAND!!!

Politics and Peretz; hot water heaters; Happy Thanksgiving; voice mails; and Arielle joins us! I love it when she comes home early on Thursday nights.
