| Thankful for... | | Date Created: Nov 28, 2005, 12:32 AM |
This Thanksgiving Day was the first in a long time (if ever) that I spent away from my family, opting instead to spend the weekend with my dearest and her clan, three hours away in Scranton, Pennsylvania. We had a lovely, traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, comparable to what we normally have at home, with one ingredient missing: lasagna.
It's become a running joke amongst our friends about how Latinos serve lasagna at Thanksgiving, since it is not part of the traditional American fair. In fact, when told that I was going to spend Thanksgiving in Scranton, my buddy Mark chimed in with, "Ah!, No lasagna for YOU!". I'm really not sure why my family makes lasagna part of the meal, nor where that tradition started in certain hispanic families. But anyway, Amneris' parents made sure it wasn't missed at all by making some lasagna for me to consume on Friday. I'm thankful her parents are so thoughtful.
Our meal was good, and I was thankful to have been part of this particular family gathering. Grateful to have survived another year, and greatful to be a bit of a part of this family's celebration. |
