Thursday was an incredible Thanksgiving. I woke up super late after the adventures of the previous day and bummed around for a bit, refusing to do any housework. At around 2:30, we left for Praneetha's house in Westford. Since it was only 3:00 when we got there, there was still a lot of cooking to do. Praneetha, Sammy (Sameera), and I decided to make gravy, except every recipe we found online involved soy sauce. There was no soy sauce in the house. First of all, isn't soy sauce an Asian thing? The pilgrims obviously made gravy without it, so why does there NEED to be soy sauce? Anyway. So after hunting around for little packets of soy sauce that you get from Chinese restaurants (we found, like, one) we walked over to Shruti and Sushmita's house to borrow some.
The gravy turned out excellent, though we might have put in too much soy sauce. :D
Next, we made mashed potatoes by taking potatoes and mashing them. We (rather generously) added oregano and basil and stuff to the point that you could smell the mashed potatoes from a mile away. But it also turned out excellent and our cooking skills were praised by one and all. There was lots of other awesome food and I ate a lot.
We watched Golmaal Returns and then played Rummy (what else?) with everyone. For some reason, in every single round, everyone's cards sucked. Praneetha and I indulged in a little under the table sharing of cards but were cuaght. We also tried texting each other but Laxmi aunty caught that too. I slept over at Praneetha's and we got up at 4:45 to take advantage of Black Friday at Rockingham Mall. I was incredibly tired (who would have thought? I thought I had mastered the art of functioning while sleep deprived...guess not) but perked up after a "small" Coke from Burger King. Here is a picture of Shruti and Praneetha hiding from the rain under a free tote bag from Aerie.
