A NYC Thanksgiving ;-)

24 Nov, 2009 in: Holidays in NYC
Sooo…
For me, the past few Thanksgivings have been quite different from each other:

One year I decided to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal in my tiny NYC apt kitchen. Mom repeatedly asked me the whole time if I had felt claustrophobic living in my apt. It didn’t help that with the oven on all day, it made the entire place hot as hell & super uncomfortable.

To top it off, since I own a limited number of dinnerware place settings, I had to continuously wash dishes after the appetizers and until dessert.

Chinet anyone?
Another year, the fam & I decided to take a break from the traditional full-day-o-cookin’ and opted for a fantastic Thanksgiving meal at a fabulous Italian resty in Midtown – complete with fresh mozzarella made at the table!

Can’t get more fresher (or easier) than that folks ;-) …
Then last year, I spent Thanksgiving day in the hospital with my mom since she had just suffered a stroke on the 22nd of Nov. Worst Thanksgiving (& year) ever…
This Thanksgiving, I am hauling Midtown Pups & myself to my parents house to spend it with them. All I have to do is – SHOW UP, lol!

Crossing my fingers that they will have the fried shrimp & ribs I requested as part of my fav additions to the traditional Turkey feast (sorry – sooo NOT a fan of Turkey!)…

And this year, I am thankful that my mom is home & healthy and that I can spend the holiday the way is should be spent…with my family ;-)

Midtown Girl & Midtown Pups wish you & your fabulous families a wonderful, happy & healthy Thanksgiving holiday.

Sooo thankful to have you dahlings as part of our extended family – kissies for everyone!!!

Thanksgiving love,

      So glad that this year is good. Well ribs and shrimp – can it get better than that? The only turkey I could do is deep fried turkey – yum!

    27. Yay for your mom feeling better…and a huge yay for "JUST SHOWING UP." I always appreciate how much work my fam puts into holiday dinners, and I am also very grateful that all i need to contribute is my presence and a good bottle of wine.
