My Thanksgiving 2008

This year, we didn’t have turkey in North Carolina (my mom made two chickens instead). We hosted two parties (one that lasted until 5AM!) and had an amazing array of Chinese dishes, including lion’s heads (that’s a literal translation from Chinese to English – they’re Chinese meatballs served with cabbage and noodles), sticky rice, stuffed Japanese eggplant, mung bean noodles (it might sound a little weird, but it was actually my favorite from both nights) and other great dishes (I’ll post close up pictures later):

I spent the rest of my Thanksgiving break lounging around in my pajamas, rock climbing, spending time with my family, and making upgrades to gracenotesnyc.com.
