I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I had planned to make most of the meal, host the family... but then my cousin and I thought it would be best to keep is simple. (KISS- keep it simple, stupid) So this year, we're meeting in Chinatown for dinner- it's a good halfway point for the family to meet. No slaving in the kitchen, no burn marks, no wrestling with a hot buttery turkey as I flip it to brown. And while I'll probably make a turkey breast (brined, of course... though I prefer a subtle marinade) with my deluxe mashed potatoes, it's not the turkey meal that counts. It's sharing good food with people I care about and am thankful for, even if it is in smelly ol'Chinatown.
Thanks to all my friends and family, for being there, and for every act of kindness. Here's to the holidays! :)
