Thanksgiving Dinner

Just a tidbit about what I have been doing whole day, I had our thanksgiving dinner today. Quite a few people showed up despite bad weather (well, in Houston terms, bad weather strictly refers to drizzle with temperatures in low 70's!). We had an interesting ensemble of around 17 people with 7 heads from India while others from Iran (2), Igypt (4), Indonesia (old gf) and Korea (4). It was in fact a pot-luck dinner and instead of turkey, we had fantastic chicken barbeque with paav-bhaji, chhole (I made it, and one iranian lady almost stopped short of asking for its receipe), tofu-vegetables curry, korean rice preparation, and bakhlawa/cakes/ice cream/cookies for dessert! 'H' then served everyone with warm apple-cider which I avoided since I am not too fond of cinnamon except in curries plus the cinnamon that added to chhole was still haunting me from afternoon, ;-). My old gf brought dumb-charades type game called 'gestures'...and she made me explain that game to everyone, playing game was fun, despite our differences we make a good team. I am looking forward to more get-togethers like this one!
