amish turkey, sweet potato casserole, stuffing, green bean casserole, cauliflower, cranberry sauce, rolls, turkey gravy, pumpkin pie and a crisp california white wine... not bad, considering i'm the chef of the family and i didn't have to lift a finger to make it happen. further proof that alina rocks and i am a lucky, lucky man...

a few things were decided this weekend. the portrait gallery is the coolest place to hang out in dc. both my wife and brother have an unconditional love for chinese noodle soup. andrew is a proficient domino player. and alina and i are going to burning man next summer. unfortunately, our costumes for phish at madison square are still up in the air... maybe the super hero supply store will be able to help.
