Thanksgiving 2007

This year, we decided to have Thanksgiving at Ricky and Delina's house just to avoid the big hassle and because we can only sit 6 at our table! Just to make sure ALL of us got the Thanksgiving we are used to, I made a menu with everybody's expected food item and gave it to Ricky who still graciously agreed to host the dinner( even with 2 turkeys!!! ). To help out, all of us were given 1-2 dishes to prepare each.

Thanksgiving morning, Ricky called me up with some bad news. Turkey was still frozen at 11 am when we're supposed to eat at 2 pm. I had murder in my mind and was not afraid to voice it! Ricky took it well and calmly assured me things will be OK.


The turkey is thawed!!!

We all gathered at Ricky's about 3 hrs later than planned just to give the turkey some time to defrost(which thankfully did). Sabrina dished out some kick-ass queso with chips to help tide us over while we cooked our Thanksgiving dinner. One turkey in the oven, one turkey in the fryer and many hours later, everything was finally ready(not without some chaos, mind you)!


Tyler(who was the perfect gem) and Alan enjoying their 1st Thanksgiving together

We ate our delicious Thanksgiving dinner while Ricky and Delina told us about their engagement story and latest adventures at some therapy session. We, of course, were merciless with our smart ass comments!!!

After dinner, we sat and chatted and played pool till late. All in all, despite the rocky start, it was a really pleasant and fun Thanksgiving!

PS:Working mum, did we mention that for the last few years Alan has been working on a time machine, this year he perfected a big enough machine to take a few people and 2 turkeys to the future !!
