Let the holidays begin! Last Thursday Mihir and I kicked off traditional American holidays with our version of a Thanksgiving dinner, complete with the all-American roast turkey (my first!), stuffing, cranberries, and dinner rolls, along with Indian-style potatoes and green beans. I made a pumpkin pie, and Mihir made a beautiful blueberry cobbler. It was all delicious--good thing we hit the gym early Thanksgiving morning!
The next day, Black Friday, Mihir and I braved the crowds and did some shopping, first at Willow Bend mall in Plano, then at the outdoor mall in Allen. The most bizarre part, for me, was the weather: as we meandered through the outdoor mall, listening to Christmas carols, it was probably close to 80 degrees. Strange! I have to admit to missing snow and crisp cool air, though I understand that even my friends and family in Michigan have yet to experience too much of that weather. Everyone, think of me as you scrape snow off your cars this winter!
We rounded out the weekend with two movies: Stranger Than Fiction and the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale. Both were good, but my favorite was definately the Bond movie. Daniel Craig makes a great Bond!
The pictures, clockwise from left: Mihir carving the turkey, the Thanksgiving table (notice the patio door is wide open--it was about 75 degrees) and Alfie enjoying his Thanksgiving feast--a pig's ear.
