Thanks for Nothing

So this was my Thanksgiving. Justin and I woke up early so we could catch the first showing of Lincoln.

I had half this bag of popcorn, a la Snoopy and the Gang.


Then we motored back to rearrange everything for our international flight – apparently you’re only allowed 1 checked bag, not 2…


…I ate an apple during the repacking madness.

Made it to the airport, only to find out Air France cancelled our plane without any notification. Yup.

Chewed some Ginger Hermits while Kristine and Jess tried to find us another flight to Europe.

Nada. We had to rent a van and bring it all back to Justin’s.

Tried to whip up something Thanksgiving-esque with what was in his fridge…roasted up 2 sweet potatoes + zucchini with cumin and coriander…

…topped with olives, pecans, and a quick lemon vinaigrette.

We each had a bowl…

…in front of the boob tube…

It actually wasn’t my worst Thanksgiving; more surreal and exhausting than most, though. I hope your Holiday went a little more smoothly!

Oy, what a Thanksgiving! Have to say though, those roasted vegetables look pretty delish. Hope you get some rest over the rest of the weekend :-)
