I could barely understand him, but it was funny to hear things like "bloody hell" or "wanker" coming out of his mouth!<BR/><BR/>And a French pumpkin pie??? You'll have to let us know how it tastes!Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13719001.post-1132497939369228622005-11-20T09:45:00.000-05:002005-11-20T09:45:00.000-05:00I have an accent when I say certain words--e.g. gr...I have an accent when I say certain words--e.g. grenouille, potiron--but not "American." I also learned from his southern family, so I have a very heavy southern French accent, which really throws off French people--they don't think that a foreigner would have a southern accent. I mean, can you imagine a French person with a Southern American accent? As for the turkey... I'm making the turkey, stuffing, veggies, and la belle-mere is making the pumpkin pie (since she has the food processor). I can't wait!Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313195863967188622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13719001.post-1132492970913061212005-11-20T08:22:00.000-05:002005-11-20T08:22:00.000-05:00Do you seriously not have an accent in French??

If so, I bow down to you....I'm not nearly as bad as the "typical" American, but I'm pretty sure that 20 yrs from now I'll still be identifiable as une étrangère.<BR/><BR/>We had the same "I'll get in touch with my suppliers" line last year...our turkey ended up costing 35 frickin' euros! That's why this year, I think we're just gonna go with 2 small chickens from Carrefour. Are you making the entire meal (ie. pumpking pie, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc)? I'm having T-day for 12 chez moi next Friday night....can't wait, it's one of my fav dinners of the year!Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.com
