Well, it's one week till Thanksgiving and we've started to push 90 degress. And I must say, it's pretty nice. Sure it's been strange seeing Christmas decorations up at the stores since mid September, but there's no holiday down here between the Queen's birthday in June till Christmas as an acceptable date to put up Christmas (sorry, holiday) decorations. It will however, take a bit of time to get used to walking to work and walking past the department store windows and hearing Christmas music blasted on the street at 8am. Hearing Dino sing about it being cold outside just doesn't seem to work here.
Still working on Thanksgiving plans down here, but I was able to get the butcher at the farmers market to order a turkey for me for the day. I have to have turkey, stuffing and gravy, but I'm trying to figure out some other lighter, summer options to go with the meal. After all, there's a decent chance it will be 90 out. At this point the only thing I've come up with are margaritas and I'm not sure how well those would go with gravy. We'll just have to see how this works out.
And while it doesn't quite feel like the holidays are approaching with the weather, traditions are traditions so I picked up a copy of Christmas Vacation. I probably won't be able to light my apartment up with 25,000 imported Italian twinkle lights, but I'll have to find something.
Let me know if anyone has any summer options to go with a Thanksgiving turkey.
