The Italian Thanksgiving

Well folks,

It's been a while since we have updated out bloggster. Not much has occurred lately; nevertheless, I will update since whenever we last blogged....who knows when.

Let me start with Thanksgiving - that was quite interesting to say the least...Jess and I both had to work the day before and the day after Thanksgiving - so naturally, we couldn't leave NY to see either of our family...

We ended up getting invited to one of Jess' co-worker's house. She said it was a misfit Thanksgving with random people. So we were like - we're down - plus she is Italian so they were gonna have awesome food.

And, well, the food part was correct, but it ended up Jess and I were the only misfits - it was a family gathering plus two random young adults that were not dressed properly for the Italian Thanksgiving. Yea, i was in jeans and a hoodie and they were all dressed up looking nice - I felt dumb.

Anyway, we had a feast - we had a huge appetizer "dinner" - mozzarella slabs with bread, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed cheese balls, all sorts of cheese, all sorts of thinly sliced meats, etc. etc.

Next we had our Italian Thanksgving meal - egg plant pasta, penne noodle pasta, lasagna, bread, etc. etc.

Then, we had America's Thanksgiving meal - a huge turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato stuff, more bread, cranberry topping, gravy, vegetables, etc. etc.

Finally, we had a buffet of desserts - homemade cheesecake, apple pie, pumpkin pie, cream puffs, cannolis, chocolate covered pretzels, cookies, etc. etc.

IT was insane - the entire event took like over 5 hrs. Note - there were only 15 people there - and they basically forced food down your throat - it was nuts.

And get this, in the midst of eating chicken - this one older chick choked on a chicken bone and haked it up with a giant heave - it was insane! I will never forget that - Jess and I wanted to die laughing but everyone just played it off - oh my gosh - it was a sight.

Anyway, we wished we could have been with our family - but it turned out ok - hopefully next Thanksgiving we can enjoy it in Virginia or Florida. Much love family.
