When I was in college, I loved Thanksgiving. My mom would come up to NYC and we would have Thanksgiving dinner together at Ollie’s Chinese restaurant, right across the street from the Columbia campus. I was thankful for my mom coming to see me and I was thankful for Chinese food! Those were the days…
Fast-forward fifteen years (oh my, how the time has flown!) and now I’m a wife and mom. I still have never hosted or cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner since I have been married. Honestly, I am not a big turkey fan. I would rather eat Chinese food! We don’t though. Rather, we eat dinner over my family in-laws home. We bring one dish and ourselves. That is it. This year, I’m happy because my mom will be in town to share Thanksgiving with us. At first, I thought “Ollies!”, but I know that would not be alright. We will be going over the family in-laws home again. I think that I’ll try one of the sides that I learned from Bobby Flay (like the string bean one) as my contribution this year. One day though, I think that I will tackle having Thanksgiving at our home – turkey and all.
So, what is your family doing for Thanksgiving?
