well i was gonna skip an update tonite, cuz my quality of entries has become quite boring, but 2 things occured:
- the EX commented on the missed days
- i thought of something new to write about

last year, my parents came up to celebrate Thanksgiving. it was the first time we did thanksgiving in my house, the first time in a few years that we actually were celebrating thanksgiving together. i cooked the meal also for the first time - and of course my mom told me where i was doing things wrong *:) it was a good time. of course, we were kinda bored since my parents arent into watching football, nor do they really want to go hang out at the mall to go shopping the day after. but its nice to try and have a family thing when you can. This year, i think they're coming up again, and i might see if i can invite some friends over also. i'm thinking about doin an asian themed meal, using some chinese spices/sauces on the turkey, and some asian side dishes, and if my vegetarian friends come, making some tofu dishes. then making a rice based stuffing. i have to admit that this isnt all an original thought. This month's food and wine magazine has about 5 different ways to do thanksgiving... and one of them was asian themed. but i had a few other ideas for it. the big problem, is not having the mashed potatos. the gravy. the stovetop stuffing. those are the True pieces of thanksgiving.
