Thanksgiving

So my fellow barista Jordan and I made ourselves (and 15 other invisible people) a Thanksgiving feast. We stayed up til 4 AM on the eve of the big day making cranberry sauce and prepping the turkey, among other things that eventually led to flipping through Gourmet and Bon Appetít and deciding we needed to make mac and cheese in addition to the other large list of sides. We ended up rousing ourselves at about 10 AM, drinking some Intelligentsia coffee, and making our way to the local Kroger to pick up some supplies to ready ourselves for what turned out to be almost 8 straight hours of cooking, baking, eating tiny bits of the items cooking and baking, playing our collective vinyl collections, and watching old episodes of The Office. Finally, at just about 8 PM, Jordan, Virginia and I all sat down to one of the finest Thanksgiving meals of my life. I mentioned the 15 invisible people at the beginning of this post because that is literally how many people we could have fed with everything we made. To illustrate our efforts and environment, here is a delicious slideshow of the days transpirings. (I tried to put the slideshow in this post, but WordPress hates me, so there’s that.)
