Thanksgiving Rules!

November 22, 2003

Oh man, I love this holiday. It's the only holiday that makes me forget about the event it is recongnizing. That's how damn good it is. In fact, I think this is the reason I enjoy it so much -- it's just a time for my family to get together and stuff their faces.

This year my family will be making their way out to New York. We're going to eat out on Long Island with my Grandfather and his wife's family for Thanksgiving and then head over to my uncles' new house in Staten Island for dinner on Friday. The choice of location was a bit of an issue, but I'm happy with how it worked out. It means twice as much eating.

Even though I do enjoy being with the family and all of the relaxation time, it is the menu of the meal that gets me. I think it may be my favorite combination of foods. My favorites, in order, are as follows: cranberries, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, turkey, and gravy. Actually, I would survive with just a big plate of cranberries and half a pumpkin pie.

Enough about that. Now I'm going to see Ani Difranco with the lady. I'm excited as I've only seen her once before, four years ago. Enjoy your weekend.
