Thanksgiving 2007

I've been meaning to update, about many things, but I'll focus tonight on Thanksgiving.
We moved into our new house the Sunday before Thanksgiving; and by moved into I mean moved in all the furniture too large or too heavy for Nicole and I to move on our own and, one piece of that furniture being the bed, finally spent the first night of many, many

That "pearls before swine" feeling is an awful one. It illuminates a gap in maturity and seriousness with people that is terribly hard, if not impossible, to overcome. I had a sister-in-law who used to aggravate me in that same way - cheap wine and ice cream, when I asked her to bring something for Christmas when I had cooked a goose (and the rest of a very expensive and elaborate meal), for example. I learned that I would be much less annoyed with people if I asked them NOT to bring anything because I could not trust them to do the right thing. Having your friends not appreciate your house and your tremendous efforts as a host is very disappointing and I'm sorry you have to experience that. Your meal sounds extraordinary.

The muscles from brussels

Bunch of savages in that town. Indeed, I would have rather enjoyed this particular feast. The brussels sprouts (in truth, the city adopted a policy of pluralistic nominalism some time ago, and far be it from the tiny sprout to antagonize its namesake) sound like everything i wanted my green beans to be. Alas, i didn't any spare time to devote to the creation of truly great green beans, hence the humdrum application employed by my friend, rachel. Anyway, know that i would have heaped praise upon you in mashed-potatoesque portions had i been there. Perhaps, when i return, we can make use of the duck i have in cold storage.
