Prachee’s parents were coming out for Thanksgiving this year to spend some quality time with Julian, so we decided it would be a great opportunity to officially host our first Thanksgiving. Claire and her boyfriend Jason as well as my Mom Joyce joined us for the weekend. Prachee and Shobha outdid themselves with the Thanksgiving meal – everything was made from scratch, even the cranberry sauce! I have to mention the cranberry sauce in particular because I kind of like the canned jelly one. The fact that it comes out in the shape of a can and you slice it into jelly “circles” is for some reason appealing to me – I know, weird! I was responsible for the turkey and after watching my friend Dana fry 5 turkeys for our huge Thanksgiving in Barcelona (during B-School) I was really considering frying the thing. After much deliberation I opted for the traditional roasting and I am happy to report I didn’t embarrass myself – the turkey was juicy and thoroughly cooked. Chris, Lindsay and Santiago couldn’t join on for the Thanksgiving meal so they came over the following day for brunch. We decided to skip the leftovers and go with Bagels, Lox and scrambled eggs. As you can see from the pictures Santiago and Julian were having a great time together. The “adults” on the other hand got hyper-competitive at Wii Bowling – those guys at Nintendo really out did themselves!
