Thanksgiving
Having dinner tonight at Katie's house. We'll have 14-15 people: her family (4), me, my friend Jan, four Turks, two other Middle Easterners (not sure where exactly), and probably Katie's friend Joy. So half the people there will be from abroad (Jan is Czech). My most international Thanksgiving ever (I guess the ones I've had abroad were international in a different way).
Jan and I are responsible for the sweet potatoes. He'll come over and we'll cook this recipe.
I listed a bunch of people for whom I'm thankful here. I'd add Katie and her family and the friends I've made in the past year. A year ago I owned neither a home nor a car and now I have both, so I'm very thankful for that. I'm of course also thankful (1) to be among the more privileged portion of the human population and (2) to have the opportunity to pursue justice for those left behind (the two go together).
