Thanksgiving
Posted by: Denelle
It's hard to believe but Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
Thanksgiving is a holiday that people either pull off with what looks like no effort and enormous class (you know, the people who set a formal table and wear their suit and tie to dinner) or it is mayhem and an over abundance of chaos (kids everywhere, paper plates and football on the t.v. in the background).
This year will mark the first time in my life that I've not spent Thanksgiving with my family. But rather than dwelling on the downside of not getting to be with my family, etc. I've decided to focus on the new and exciting opportunities this presents for me.
As long as the weather and my foot (I'm still wearing this boot) cooperate I'm planning on getting up early and going to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This may be one of the only years that I'm actually in New York on Thanksgiving and I'd hate to look back one day and regret that I didn't at least attempt to go.
Then, rather than trying to cook for one, I'm going to pick a restaurant here in the City and have dinner. There are tons of places that are open and and cooking everything from traditional Thanksgiving meals to more modern/eclectic versions. I'm currently leaning very heavily toward Virgils, that does a southern style dinner: deep fried BBQ turkey, biscuits, gravy, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, etc. The other option is a place called Fire Bird which is modeled after an 18th century Russian palace. Their menu is more pretentious and I'm not sure I want to get all dressed up to go have dinner alone. But we'll see how I'm feeling on Thursday morning.
No matter what your plans for Thanksgiving I hope you have a happy and blessed day and that you take time to stop and truly give thanks for the things in your life that matter.
And don't forget to save up your energy for Black Friday. The best sales wait for no (wo)man.
