This may or may not be why they don't celebrate Thanksgiving.
It didn't feel right to just let the momentous occasion of Thanksgiving slip past us, we had to celebrate somehow. We couldn't be rest easy knowing that our respective families back home would be arming themselves with fork and knife, fully prepared for the feasts in front of them, then contentedly waddling away from the table after the last turkey slice had been snatched from the platter to enjoy the rest of their extended weekend. For us the normal nightly rations of spaghetti and salt wouldn't do. We needed something more.
So we took a box of potato puree that had been sitting in the cupboard since we got here, hesitantly stumbled through the directions before finally deciding that we couldn't really screw it up, and then sat down at the table for the first time in a while to enjoy our "Thanksgiving" dinner. It looked like this.
In order to make it a true "feast" Joel pulled some spaghetti out of the fridge that had frozen into a solid block. We weren't sure how much of our normal readership would stay up on the blog this week as the most of you are probably spending time with people who have the same last name as you that you care about more than us, but I decided to throw this up anyway. If you don't really know why they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, you're an idiot.

It's a way of life
i'm happy to see that no shave november is being observed, at least partially. who was the chef? or was it a group effort?
that looks delicious. incredibly delicious. could you please freeze some and send it to me? anyways, glad to see that you guys still had a abundant feast of taters or thanksgiving. all of you look very pretty and it makes me warm. adios
Beats the hell out of the turducken we had out on Campbay rd. The yams were yummy however and Margies cornbread divine. I think Jaycob ate two sticks of butter.
i love thanksgiving! I don't think that spaghetti looked too good especially frozen. I am sorry you all missed a true American feast back home. Hope your all doing well. And i care about Glenn as much as my immediate family since we share a last name.
The first picture reminds me way too much of that picture of joel throwing up after the Arby's motzerrella sticks. Ugh.
Darren, it is good to know you care so much. Crispy Critter is Ponce, correct? If anyone wants to send us some real food so I don't have to eat spaghetti every night this week, all you have to do is ask.
Looks like a good time. Brendan I found myself wishing we could take another boat voyage over the mysterious lake of Muskrat over break. the mist was perfect for it. Ha ha
I personally find it hard to believe that there is no Taco Bell around the corner from where you live.
Don't any of you guys know how to cook? If you can get your ass to Europe you should be able to put a chicken in the oven. If you don't have an oven get a crock pot.
Tell me the things you miss most along with your address and we'll work up a little Christmas care package for ya. Who loves ya, ya big dummy?

I'll be glad to cook while I'm there, I'm hell-bent on learning to cook some Spanish food while I'm in Spain anyway. Paella y tapas here we come.
Thanks Darren.
I think have enough names to call a large portion of the English speaking and maybe French speaking population family.
