Yesterday was my first Thanksgiving away from home. Considering that 3/4 of my family are Taiwanese immigrants (the remaining 1/4 still living in Taiwan), we're not a particularly American group. Traditionally, my mother invites a couple of my cousins who also live in the area over to our house for dinner, and we have a big hot pot. For those of you unfamiliar, "hot pot" is a style of eating common in east Asian countries where everyone sits around a central pot of broth and everyone dips in various raw meats, frozen foods, vegetables, etc. to cook and eat. Think of it as fondue but without all the cheese clogging your aorta.

Simply Taking Up Space So You Don't Think I've Abandoned You
I eagerly await the day that it actually gets colder outdoors than the temperature inside our refrigerator so we can save some electricity. We can just put all our food in buckets and hang them out our window. I fully expect this to happen in, oh, two weeks. Frozen milk homemade ice cream for everybody!
