Highlights of the holiday thus far:
After my plane landed, I came home to a freshly prepared cut of fish, miso soup, sesame broccoli, and tsukemono, courtesy of my dad. =D
They're giving me the old storage chest that used to be in my room, thus knocking one thing off my xmas list. =D
They've also promised me a couch and an armoire. =D
Our turkey dismembered itself in the oven.
Our dinner guest was a really cool old guy who, though military service, lived in Japan for 7 years. Also, he asked a 10 year old to take care of his 10 porch cats (they're neighborhood strays he feeds). He assured this by threatening to break the kid's leg if he didn't. <3
While mom made me take a virus off the computer. She had unplugged the internet, saying she didn't want any viruses 'sneaking in' when the computer was off. <3 parents sometimes.
Ohio ice cream. <3 Illinois ice cream sucks.
They forgot to put the wine away. I'm fixing that problem. =D
My dad cut too much ginger for the sweet potatoes. Thus, homemade gyoza tomorrow.
<3 Thanksgiving at my house.
