This year we decided to stay at home in NYC for Thanksgiving. We bought a 9 lbs turkey, the smallest we could find in the store. We started cooking right before noon and it took about 3 hours, cause the bird was still a little cold. Jim was responsible for the turkey, cause I think that’s disgusting, and then we helped each other with the rest. The food turned out awesome and I’m very proud of my husband for cooking a great turkey. Thor went crazy by the turkey smell. He knows the word too so he went crazy just by hearing us talk about it, haha.
It felt like a long day yesterday. We started with watching the parade on TV. Jess, who I danced with in The Equus Project, was in it this year so I tried to keep an eye out for her. When J started cooking, I cleaned the whole apartment, and eventually I joined him. After the food, we watched football, played yahtzee and ate pumpkin pie. Right before we were going to start a movie, our neighbor knocked on the door. She wanted to give us some cake she had baked. How sweet! Shortly after that, she came back with paper plates with lots of food. Haha, too cute! She knew we were staying in NYC this year without family, so maybe she thought we needed some food:) So today I have been eating like an elephant.
