Brooklyn Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was epic this year. First, hours of slaving over a hot stove (with mimosas) at Carly and Mike's, then so much feasting. I made cranberry sauce and amazingly delicious fried sweet potatoes and acorn squash stuffed with couscous and only slightly disappointing turkeyless stuffing. Once I could move again after eating all that plus stuffed potato skins, stringbean casserole, wild rice, potatoes au gratin, and tiny pican tarts, I hopped on the bus to Suzan's for DINNER #2 where I mostly just nibbled on salad so I wouldn't explode. Eventually I was collected by Dan and Tommy who were spending the weekend at my place, and proceeded to pass the fuck out.
Yesterday was spent entirely in pjs, grazing on leftovers and knitting.
Today I felt like going on an ADVENTURE or at least putting my metrocard to work so I took the B35 to the N to the C (with a detour when I dropped a knitting needle in the station but didn't realize it until I'd gotten on the train; it was still there when I went back! yay!) to the A to the Shuttle to the Far Rockaway Beach. Because, why not? I didn't stick around long because dear god it was cold, but it's a really nice beach (compared to Coney Island, anyway). Then I took the Q35 to the 2 to the D to home (with a detour to the Nice Target. Yay, nice target!). Now it's time to curl up with my sock and finish thawing out.
