The first thanksgiving

Jess and I hosted our first thanksgiving. Here are some key lessons:

• convert cups, oz, Farenheit and pounds to their respective metric units before cooking in Europe.
• Pick up EVERYTHING you need before thursday (otherwise you run around like a crazy person).
• If you get started making stuffing and brining the turkey at 7 am, you have the right to start drinking at 11 am.
• Cooking Turkey is literally down to a science. If you brine it, put it in a bag, and bake it for the amount of time calculated by butterball, it will work.
• Most importantly, great friends make a great party. We had great food / booze contributions from everyone, and most importantly a super fun holiday atmosphere. Thanks to everyone who came, shared something they were thankful for, and played party games with us even through the midst of a food coma.

Hopefully some pics to follow.
