Tonight, Neil and I, Neil’s boss and his family, plus 400 of his closest friends (okay, I’m exaggerating — 200) will be tucking into a belated Thanksgiving dinner.
I’m so glad my first dinner date with Neil since his return from the US will be in a large ballroom full of people. Really, I’m ecstatic.
As a Scot and Singaporean respectively (in case you couldn’t tell who was who), Thanksgiving is not exactly a tradition we’ve observed since we were wee. As is my usual excuse, I’m only going for the food.
Who would turn down roast turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and whatever other things are Thanksgiving dinner musts?
Happy Turkey Day (a day late).
Update: and Maria’s just made me tear up.

It is just barely still Thursday in my time zone as I read this. No Mince pie this year, Caramel Crumb Apple instead, and the ubiquitous Pumpkin. Hey Kris, how was your first T-day in the US? (looks at krisalis.org, thinks it sounds pretty typical)

Oh, Andrea, I don’t even know what to say—the day sucked (the patient ended up dying and I did have to go pronounce her as dead), but you know, it really REALLY makes me thankful for what I’ve got.

Sorry to hear that, Maria. It’s good to be thankful for what we’ve got every day.
