I don’t have much time to write because I’m going to the airport in a bit to fly out to West Virginia or some state like that…

Anyway, the Thanksgiving party was a success. We had a ton of food, so no one went hungry. There were enough seats for everyone, and it was a good time. I don’t know why I stressed about it so much!

I did, however, forget to do a couple dishes. I had the bruschetta all ready, all that needed to be done was to spoon it on the toasted bread and bake it with the cheese, but I complete forgot about it. Which was actually quite fortunate, since I used a different kind of onion this time around which was so strong that it overpowered all the other flavors and set your tongue on fire. I also forgot to cut up the brownies, which hid in the corner of my kitchen, only to come out the day AFTER Thanksgiving.

The dirt was a hit, as it always is at parties. My dirt is made up of cream cheese, butter, chocolate pudding and milk surrounded by layers of crushed oreo cookies. Yumm…..so good!

Our college friend Walter came by to stay over for the holiday, which was pretty cool - we don’t often get out of town guests who stay over. I made sure to fluff up our guest towels and brought out my guest sample shampoo, conditioner and lotion (which of course I stole from a hotel).

I missed out on my annual family get together, so Thanksgiving felt a little different. But Fatima and my cousin Marian came by to keep me company later on in the day. We played a couple games of Spades with Dave’s cousin, and later on in the night taught Walter how to play a couple card games we used to play when we were kids. We laughed a lot.

Then we watched one of Dave’s favorite movies, “Honey”, something that everyone who comes to our place has to be exposed to at least once…

Good times!!!
