Thanksgiving

As many of you know, yesterday was Thanksgiving. Dylan and I went over to our friends Sarah and Frank's place.

I made a sweet potato pie. Steamy sweet potatoes:

And the stuffing! It turned out a lot like great grandma Bea's stuffing, which was a nice. I think it's because I used plain white sandwich bread.

I also made a green bean casserole with fresh green beans, a homemade mushroom sauce, and homemade fried shallots. I will admit, the fried shallots were a bit of a pain to make, so I'll probably just buy the canned ones next year.

The menu:

Thanksgiving for four...

Dylan basting his tofurkey ball.

Watching some football.

Sarah and Frank getting it ready.

Carving the turkey.

Pickles wants some turkey!

Look at this glorious feast! I made the sweet potato pie with pecans on top, the stuffing, and the green bean casserole. Sarah made the apple pie with amazing crust, the cream cheese corn, the cranberry relish. Dylan made the tofurkey.

Frank made the mashed potatoes and the cornbread. Sarah also made this amazing turkey and the gravy.

My first plate.

Happy Thanksgiving! Now it's time to get into the Christmas spirit!

Rock Concert

Last night I took Dylan to a Sonic Youth/Dinosaur Jr. show for his birfday.

It was pretty fun!

The Phillies

Last weekend I took a bus with some friends to Philadelphia. Some people call it "Philly".

This is some old bell.

Next stop, Jimmy Johns! (There are no Jimmy Johns in NYC, so Caitlin had to get her fix.)

This artist guy went crazy and made all the buildings look like this.

Matt L. lookin' cool.

Of course we had to pick up some cheese steaks. We all thought they could use some Arby's sauce.

There's a lot of history there.

And also a lot of intense murals.

This is a cool looking building, don't you think?

We had some fun with these statues.

Stairs from Rocky, I guess.

Halloween Festivities

Halloween is the best!

Can you guess who we dressed up as???

We saw Mario and Luigi holding hands.
