Boston

The chefs

I arrived in Boston the night before Thanksgiving, unfortunately without my luggage. I had managed to travel for 3 months without anything being stolen or lost, yet on the last leg of the journey, my bag is left behind....what luck;) Arman, his roommates and I woke up early the next morning and ran in the Gobble Gobble race. We then spent a relaxing day and cooked things for dinner. They did an amazing job, and we had a feast of a deliciously moist turkey (kudos armani), stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, beets, cranberry sauce, and brussel sprouts. We had about one dessert per person, with a few types of ice cream, an amazing cheesecake, key lime pie, pumpkin pie, banana bread and danishes. Despite having many male grad students over, we still had a fair amount of leftovers. My baggage arrived later that evening while we were watching Blades of Glory. The cheese was in a sad state, and luckily we were all way too stuffed to eat any of it. Amazingly though, a night spent in the fridge did it wonders. My bag and all the clothes in it smell of camembert cheese though...I think I need to learn my lesson and shy away from smelly cheeses from now on;)

I've been a lazy bum the past few days and have been lounging around reading and "keeping busy"=) I've uploaded lots of pics though to picasa, so y'all should check them out. I'll be in Boston til xmas, so a bientot!
