Thanksgiving this year was really great.
On thanksgiving day, I had hotpot with my cousins upstairs. There were udon noodles, tons of leafy greens, dumplings, lamb, fishballs, cuttlefish balls, salmon balls, shitaki mushrooms, and sausages. It was way too much food. I was done after 20 minutes. My game is weak.

Then on Friday I went to a Friendsgiving. It was somewhere in NJ, and we had to carpool from Metropark Station in NJ. It was tons of fun, mostly because I drank a lot. Sabrina and Vidhi were there, the two people (minus Mariana, who went back to Chile) I befriended first in my Master's program. Catching up was great. And the food was amazing!!!
The good pics, where I don't look so puffy obvs:

I remember thinking that Thanksgiving would be difficult, following the break up, but I was wrong. I have friends and family around me who can claim me. This lowers my anxiety level a bit.

Look at that huge spread! There was salad, cranberry salad, cranberry sauce, turkey, paneer maksala, lentils, rice, corn, brussel sprouts, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and I made the dinner rolls. And there was TONS of dessert!
