After 9 years I can finally enjoy a full traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. Outside of the US we would normally have one but it’s always so hard to find the ingredients and a decent sized turkey. Oh well – not this year. You might have noticed this em rather huge apple pie. I was looking for pie recipes yesterday and found this: Paula Deen’s High Apple Pie … rather em overwhelming!

The Paula Deen phenomena is rather new to us but of course since we are living now in Savannah we had to go to The Lady & Sons restaurant. Well, click on the links and read all about it.

Happy Thanksgiving and have your belly filled as long your stomach can put up with it.

OMG! Ever wondered how a 2 ton firework might look like? Don’t wonder any longer and watch this video I took yesterday of this rather unique firework called Mascletà which is part of Fallas here in Valencia. I shot this video my new Sanyo VPC CS1 (which I’m really happy with) but at the end it had problem to figure out the sounds. It was just too much.

Watch it here: Mascletà Napolitana

Here some pics:

Alicante which is about 1 1/2 hours from Valencia has a similar festival like Fallas where they burn huge figures and blast off insane fireworks. But the firework above is just plain frightening. OMFG … the scariest part starts at minute 7:11! You can skip directly to it by clicking on the minute link.

I prefer fireworks like the one we just saw this Sunday: Mascletà de Colores

Even though I would go to the Alicante one with ear protection and access from a roof or something so I can take a video and pictures for my collection !

Question? Would you ever attend that Alicante Firework?

At first I was like WTF. But then minute 2:35 came around. Either watch from the beginning and get a mayor headache or skip right to the “spot”.

OMG … need to do this too. Now. But with the lights plugged in (just kidding)
