It turns out Eeez and I both have to be in the office on this beautiful post-Thanksgiving day that we should have off. I shared my Thanksgiving with her via gchat while updating the interweb sites I work on for, you know, my real job that pays me.
me: everyone liked my appetizers, but like, mmmm, they made some awesome food
also, we found out 15 sticks of butter were used
that’s a stick per person
Eeez: OMG
that’s INSANE
what were the apps?
actually tell me the whole menu
Sent at 1:18 PM on Friday
me: for apps I brought some cheeses (manchego obvs, and this other one called a Tom that is kind of like a taleggio without the aftertaste) pickled wax beans, and cornichons
and then I made a bruschetta with venison sausage, tons of garlic, and tomato
that was my contrib
Eeez: whoa! nice
me: then amy and katie made butternut squash with sage, roasted yams, twice baked mashed potatoes with cheese
a beets salad with Gorgonzola and walnuts
a green bean and oyster mushroom “response” to green bean casserole that had fried leeks on top
some sort of crazy casserole that was all cream, butter, pearl onions and crunchy top
which was AWESOME
a turkey with a pancetta rub
stuffing with Italian sausage and apples
I’m trying to think if I am forgetting anything
Eeez: oh my GOD
wow
me: yeah, I was like, in pain after eating, I waaay overate
Eeez: that is a lot of food
me: yeah
Eeez: yeah we had like 3 kinds of mashed starch too
me: I think I am still missing a side too
they had this AWESOME gravy that the fried pancetta pieces were in
Eeez: whoa sounds so fatty and amazay
me: yeah
Eeez: who was is? katie brett paul amy you …
me: katie, brett, paul, me, matt, stacy, maggie (who used to work with katie at the choco shop), Katie’s Parents, hannah, garret
Eeez: wow
me: brett’s sister bailey
there were 13 peeps
Eeez: that’s a lot of food!
me: I’m missing someone
yeah
it was kind of awesome
OH, hannah was a last minute addish
that’s who I was missing
Eeez: you said hannah
me: oh
hmmm
oh well
i passed out at 9pm hard
so
tevs
Eeez: hahaha nice
i made myself stay up till 1130
i hate waking up at 3am and not being able to fall back asleep
omg
me: ha, yeah, I just like, went to bed and woke up to like burp and stuff
I was gas-say!
Eeez: i’m taking a teuters e-learning right now, and it takes 4 hours, and i’m learning “to effectively deliver propositions.”
HAHAHAHHAHAHA
hahaha totes gassy
me: you have to sing it to the tune of Kelis’ “bossy”
“cuz I’m gas-say, I’m the bitch ya’ll love to hate, diamonds in my grills, diamonds in my grills”
Eeez: hahaha
me: that isn’t really the way it goes but it’s the only lyrics I know off the top of my head
Eeez: boys come to the yard
something about yards
kellis really does enjoy the foliage.
me: that’s milkshake
Eeez: oh but there’s something about that in bossy too
me: oh, really? it’s probably about out to her other song
it’s kind of like when Thomas Friedman quotes himself
Eeez: I’m bossy
I’m the first girl to spin on a track
I switched up the beat of the drum
That’s right i brought all the boys to the yard
And that’s right, i’m the one that’s tattooed on his arm
I’m bossy
Eeez: ok yeah, and she’s def quoting herself
but it’s because she loves yards so much.
me: HAHA
Eeez: that’s what happens when you’re from brooklyn
you value the real estate
