I’ve never sat at such a quiet dinner table.
This year we had as good a Thanksgiving as one could have not being with immediate family. We spent the day at the house of the chef of the amazing Fraiche restaurant in Culver City with a group of about a dozen friends who were also unable to get home for the holiday. The chef, Roy, is South African and this was his first time cooking a bird, but he did a bang-up job!
To make up for the missed holiday we’re heading out first thing in the morning for a week in Sarasota with my folks. We decided to split the holidays in the middle, which unfortunately means neither of us will actually be home for the holidays. But it’s still something and we saved a ton on the flight by going in early December! And it will be nice to get some relief from this dreadful winter weather we’re having. Ha.
