Thanksgiving!

Every year we go out to our parents' house for Thanksgiving, who cook the meal in the style of a southern uncle (not Asian) who hosted every Thanksgiving I can remember before he moved back down south when I was in college. This means giblet gravy, yams with marshmallows, canned cranberry sauce. All of which I secretly love. 

This year, for my niece's first Thanksgiving, my sister and brother in law cooked instead, only everything from scratch/organic and it was great. I'm sure it cost about four times what our normal Thanksgiving dinner costs but whatever. I still haven't managed to shake this cough, so my appetite's been weakened and I wasn't able to stuff myself as usual, but luckily we've got tons of leftovers. And it was nice having such a small group, which made it more informal. 

I didn't really help as much as I should have but was able to blame it on being sick. Today I'm thankful to wake up for the first time in ten days without feeling like a cue ball is in my throat.
