turkey day

date: Nov 27

drink: what didnt we drink... started with peppermint schnapps, moved onto the bottle of Le Grande Dame that i've had for AGES, moved on to red wine, then white from a box... no, i dont have the names - we were drinking from 8am on - do you think i had the capability to write down names at that point in time???

what: Thanksgiving at my house - officially a tradition now that its been 2 years in a row... First there was the parade with our spiked mochas... yeah, it took KT and S 40 minutes to get back from starbucks but whatever. then we returned to the apartment and busted out the apps and finally broke into that champagne... Thank you asshole client (who sent me the champagne like, 4 years ago, to celebrate getting him off on his tax audit... i really did not like that guy and would have rather seen him get in trouble than get a $150 bottle of bubbly, but whatever...) sadly, i really liked it. This is sad because historically, i dont like the good stuff. this liking the good stuff could be expensive... eh, at least i now know what to drink at my wedding one day. and the bottle makes an awesome centerpiece with the cool candelabra that i got at childress vineyards last month...
Once that was gone, we opened up a bottle of red and then the box of white. because really, what else would one drink after $150 champagne but pinot from a box???
More apps with E and C and S included this time and then finally, put dinner in around 6... ate around 7. drank more wine. got so full that we didnt even eat dessert until Friday. yes, FRIDAY.
i love my thanksgiving. it's probably my favorite holiday - all about food, friends and fun. what could be better?
