Turkey Day


So my first official Thanksgiving away from home and came and went. As Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I thought it was going to be pretty rough on me to be away. But I guess when you have good friends, tons of food, and charades everything just kind of works out.

I made green bean hot dish for my dish and then went and had Thanksgiving with all the other interns staying out in DC. We seriously had a feat. It was amazing. Jason cooked a great turkey and we had home made potatoes and gravy, salad, stuffing, sweet potatoes, buns, wine, and a hell of a lot of pie. I haven't eaten so well in a long time.

After we ate we all sat around and played about 4 hours of charades. There is nothing like getting up in front of people and making a fool out of yourself. I got really tough things to act out like "summer nights" or "the beetles". Oh well, at least it was fun. One other great thing about Thanksgiving was that Maggie spilled her red wine. That, in and of itself, is not good but when it looks like a murder scene, great fun can be had.

Of course I missed my family and it was hard to be away from everyone but at least I was not alone and I was in a city that I love.
