I traditionally do this loooooooooong drive up to Buffalo with friends on National Get In Your Car and Sit In Traffic Day the day before Thanksgiving, but just could not do it this year. Too burned out. Flights are always too expensive, so I'm going up for Chanukah/Xmas- I haven't been in several years anyway- and staying put this week. Perry flew down to join me. An Indian friend of his from grad school is having some of us over tonight, cooking Indian, and getting destroyed by me and Perry in Taboo. You may gasp at that, but if there is one other cuisine I would rather have than traditional Thanksgiving fare, it would be Indian. Especially since I've already consumed both pumpkin and pecan pie this week, which are really the essential parts, in my view.
Other than that, I'm in the middle of a lazy afternoon sipping chai and reading Barney Frank's biography, which is pretty good.
This is an open Thanksgiving Day thread. Feel free to leave thoughts on where you are, what you're cooking, football, any amusing family political conversations, or whatever else.
