the waiting game

november 2006

every november i wait for someone to invite me to thanksgiving dinner. and every november i break down and end up co-hosting thanksgiving dinner for my friends. i have co-hosted dinner almost every year since i moved to the bay area in 1998. my ex-roommate lh and i even hosted dinner at friend's apartments because ours was too small! over the years, the main course has featured a tofurkey, brined turkeys, roasted duck and even a turducken. our friends bring what ever side dishes they desire. some past activities have been watching movies or assembling a lego millenium falcon. but, they all have included getting stuffed on food and having a great time.

i'm waiting again this year but, after all these years, i actually enjoy hosting thanksgiving.
