Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to everyone!!

Armand and I were both off for Thanksgiving day. Amazing.

We went over to my parents' house and cooked up a feast. We had:

two 17 pound turkeys

bruschetta

green onion and cheddar cheese puffs

sushi

cranberry sauce

green bean casserole

brussel sprout hash

roasted garlic and chipotle mashed potatoes

koroke (fried mashed potatoes with ground beef)

butternut squash

two homemade pumpkin pies

two store-bought pumpkin pies

pumpkin cheesecake

chocolate chip walnut cookies

pumpkin stew

jap chae noodles

black bean and basil salad

apple cider

I think that was our entire menu... needless to say, we were STUFFED.

We were joined by my mom's extended family, Patrick and his dad, Armand, and my dad's co-worker.

After dinner, we played wii MarioKart, which I am now obsessed with!

What a great holiday.

and while I'm making lists, I'm thankful for:

Armand, who is working hard being a pulmonary critical care fellow

my parents, who are continuously being supportive of both of us

my sister, who makes things fun and sane

my research, which gives me a huge break from becoming depressed

all my friends and family... especially those that are far away... I miss you!!
