Turkey Day

Adam Sandler says in his song, The Thanksgiving Song, "I like to eat TURKEY!" I completely agree. I wait for this day all year, every year because it is the only time we really eat turkey (aside from turkey burgers on occasion), and I love turkey.

This Thanksgiving was no different than the others my family's celebrated in the fifteen or so years we have lived in the US. My mom got her twenty pound turkey free from the Weis Market (she racked up 250 points on her club card). She popped the bird into the oven at 8:00 a.m. It was nothing too fancy because that would just take away from the great flavor of the turkey. The turkey was finished at around noon, just in time for my family's traditional first helping of turkey. I helped my mom make the stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy. She made sweet potatoes and corn. We had to make a quick trip to Giant because my dad insisted on eating pie for dessert, and my mom did not make one. We decided on apple pie because I do not like pumpkin. So, after the whole pie ordeal, we finally sat down to eat our Thanksgiving lunch.

After lunch, my mom and I put the leftovers away for later. An hour later, everyone had fallen asleep (at least I think everyone was because I did not actually see everyone because I was asleep myself).

We had turkey again for dinner. It seemed to taste better the second time around (maybe because it had been resting for hours).

Overall, I'd say this Thanksgiving was very successful. The food was good, which is the most important part. I hope your Thanksgiving was just as good as mine.

"Carpe Diem!"

Gilmore Francais

This past Tuesday, while watching my weekly dose of Gilmore Girls, I was pleasantly surprised. This episode, "Go Bulldogs!", opened with Lorelai learning French for her upcoming trip to Paris with Christopher. I scoured the internet for this video to show my French teacher, and I finally found it on YouTube. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

"Carpe Diem!"
