Indulging Myself One Bite at a Time: Gobble *cough* Gobble.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday! Mine was very fun and relaxing, except for the cold I have been fighting for the past few days with a cough equivalent to the black lung. I'm actually on the plane right now going back to school! Google Chrome is giving Delta passengers free wifi for the holidays. I think being online thousands of miles in the air is pretty cool.

So of course this post is going to be all about our Thanksgiving feast. Unfortunately, my cold made it so I couldn't stuff my face with as much food as I usually do and my black Wednesday festivities made it so I couldn't help out much during the day. My mom had invited her whole office for Thanksgiving dinner, which was about ~20 people! I didn't think she was making enough food, but she proved me wrong and everyone was able to get seconds and thirds, but there were no leftovers. It was just that good :).

Dishes included: turkey, sweet potatoes, wild rice with veggies, stuffing with sausage, leeks, kale, squash (my absolute favorite), brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes (made my yours truly), gravy, salad and cornbread. This is the first time my mom made that stuffing and I was in love. It was heavy like most stuffings and I'm a new found lover of leeks, kale and even squash now! Desert included pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin pie and a flour-less chocolate cake with whipped cream made by one of my mom's co-workers. Overall, it was a fun night filled with eating, drinking and being merry. I left around 9 to go see Harry Potter with a couple friends (such a great movie!). The next day I got the pleasure of eating the leftovers. There wasn't much left, but luckily my mom saved me some stuffing, mashed potatoes and turkey. Again, I'm using a professional camera that I don't know really how to work, so pardon my pictures. I really want to take some photography lessons soon!
