Gobble, Gobble

Last week was Thanksgving and my husband, who I’ll refer to as CityCrab, and I were feeling particularly thankful this year. We both have great jobs, a dog that we love (Reuben, the most awesomest bulldog in the world), over the summer we completed building our new home - things are going great for us. So, in all our graciousness we decided to host Thanksgiivng in our new home…for our families…30 people in all. This was no small undertaking. My philosophy in life is that you can do just about anything so long as you have great help. And, we did. At the suggestion of a friend we contacted the local culinary school and found 2 student chefs to help us plan & cook our meal and clean up. They were wonderful, everyone enjoyed themselves, we feasted on typical (and not so typical) Thanksgiving fare and, on Saturday, everyone went home…happy. What a wonderful way to kick off the start of a hectic holiday season.
