Thanksgiving!

We'll see what we can whip up around here for tomorrow ;)
Speaking of Thanksgiving...I was buying foil roasting pans, and the British Gentleman in front of me was rather inquisitive:

"Making Turkey, huh?" I sweetly nodded, but I really wanted to say "Yes, I'm an American and tomorrow is Thanksgiving - duh!!!" partly out of the frustration of not being able to find suitable ingredients.

Exhibit A: Pumpkin ravioli... they don't seem to know what to do with pumpkin, as in putting it in a pie
Exhibit B: really expensive turkey that is the size of a large chicken...really?
Exhibit C: Turkey breast fillets... no plain turkey breasts, which would be cheaper...

We'll see what happens... I just hope we got enough meat :)

Things are looking optimistic, though!

Cheers!

Royal Wedding Bells?

Well, after hearing this little bit of gossip in class (which apparently everyone on the planet knows but me) I decided to blog about it. Could it be that a royal wedding is on the horizon for the royals in Windsor? Oh how exciting! since the wedding (which has yet to be announced) is rumored to take place in November (perhaps yours truly will be on the guest list?...I know I'll be in town, with, like, nothing to do) You can read all about it here and here.

For those of you who are just to lazy to click on the link, I'll summarize...
Basically, Prince William has been dating this girl named Kate Middleton for quite a while (seven years, I think). As very good sources tell us (and we all know that gossips always know everything), two dates have been blocked out by the Palace diary (meaning, they are reserving June 3 and 4 for some innocuous purpose). Of course, the only conclusion to be drawn, is that the Prince is going to pop the question. So, a June engagement and a winter wedding...just like a fairy tale! Although, if you ask me, seven years of dating is quite a while to wait. Not exactly the fairytale story of love at first sight/ riding off into the sunset. It seems like a slightly political move, but a wedding's a wedding (and we'll soon see who's right in a month or so). Cheers!
