Warning: This entry is entirely about food.
This weekend has been spectacular.
Friday afternoon was the "Aron Block Party" which basically meant a few hundred pizzas and a few hundred beers. All free.
Right after that was Thank God It's Newcomb which meant free cookie cake, cheese and fruit platters, snowballs, and of course, pizza.
And there was the architecture Thanksgiving/auction thing also, but I was too full to walk over there and eat more.
Last night was the best on-campus dinner ever.
Some friends and I did an early Thanksgiving potluck. We had a thirteen-pound turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, the stuffing, roasted potatoes, sweet potato fries AND sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, four kinds of pies (apple, pecan, chocolate and pumpkin), and wine and beer. Stephanie opened the night with a spinach crab dip appetizer (that felt very "Maryland") and and closed it with hot chocolate "flavored" with mint schnapps. I was the taste-tester and thought the proportions were ideal even though some thought the hot chocolate was a bit strongly flavored.
After that Lauren and I went to Cooter Brown's, which was fun even though my stomach was too full to hold any significant amount of beer. A few friends came and went, but we had fun. Because we were so full, we actually did not get cheese fries even though we felt we should have them for the sake of tradition.
For dinner today, Stephanie suggested Raising Cane's. It was amazing. No surprise there.
As Amelia has quoted me (correctly!) in her away message:
"We should have Thanksgiving every week!"
