i'm a sore loser

though it's easy to fall into the same old latenight "dinner - movie - sleep" routine after nicholas' shifts on friday and saturday nights (cause who are we joking...i wake up daily at 5am!) occasionally, we like to go out to remember what fun feels like.

a favorite of ours? playing pool at tasty thai and drinking beer (by which i mean, raspberry firefly with lemonade).

oh, fair warning: i cheat.

lunch date

i've said it before, and i'll say it again: Eat-a-Pita has some bangin' falafel! whiiich is why i usually recommend it when nicholas and i are weighing our lunch options on king street. 

mmm pitas.

 

Recovery Room

Won 3 out of 4 games of Darts tonight against Nicholas! Technically, I won all 4 but I may or may not have been cheating that game...it was lots of fun!

thanksgiving

one of my favorite yearly traditions is helping my dad cook thanksgiving dinner with the macy's parade on tv. i'm always in charge of the cranberry-orange relish, pumpkin pie, and cran-apple pie (with a few jobs on the side). this year, my dad taught nicholas how to fry a turkey! i hope we'll one day be hosting thanksgiving dinner at our own house, cooking just like my dad, who will be there to help of course!

Friendsgiving

before everyone went out of town to spend time with their families, nick and his roommates (and other friends, like me!) celebrated thanksgiving with a big feast that the boys prepared, including turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, corn, veggies, stuffed mushrooms, macaroni and cheese, bread, cranberry sauce, stuffing, pumpkin pies, and 4 bottles of wine. seriously, this was the best meal ever. and in retrospect, my favorite of the three thanksgiving meals i ate.

 

Yard Sale

rescued a couple of items from my family's recent yard sale . obviously, i was a big help.
