This was the first Thanksgiving that I didn't go home to be with my family and I ended up spending it with some friends at Cara, Bobby and Jaime's apartment. Well, it was so much fun, that we decided to do Thanksgiving II in January! Aaaaaand it was probably the best idea we've had in a long time! Rob decided that we should get a HEN this time....yes, a hen in lieu of a turkey. I have to say that I was pretty skeptical but it really came out great. Add in sweet potatoes, broccoli cheese cassarole, wedding potatoes, stuffing, creamed spinach and Rum punch and you have the best, fattiest, goodness you've ever tasted. I don't know why we didn't think of this sooner, because we always have the best time and with everyone chipping in and making something, it really is fairly easy to do. We naturally capped off the day with a trip to our favorite Astoria bars, Remote Sports Bar and Black Rock. Remote really used to be our go-to, but lately it's been all about Black Rock. The bar tender there is NUTS and likes to fill the evening with strange costumes and hula hoops and bar dances.....And the best part about it is that it's not even a block away from my apartment :) As always, it was so great to eat amazing food and spend some quality time with some of my favorite people!
