(Sometimes Thanksgiving sucks when you do have family. Not in my case, I'm looking forward to dinner with the cousins, but I've heard tell.)

I'm in a strange land for a while, and don't know anybody. So, no, just me.

My mom and I are hosting dinner this year. I've taken most of the week off to prepare. Since my brother passed away suddenly earlier this year, we won't have his amazing grilled smoked turkey, and the celebration will be bittersweet because we're absent a beloved presence. But my sister is preparing 2 birds: one jerk seasoned and the other deep fat fried. We'll also have the usual chitterlings, ham, (no prime rib until Xmas this year) yams, collard greens, home-made dinner rolls, sweet potato pie, German chocolate cake, mac and cheese, and I don't yet know what else.
My extended family will come over, which is unusual these days. I guess we'll just see how that goes! ;D

On Thursday, my daughter will have her very first job interview for an internship at a hospital, and I'm gonna drive her, which will take the whole afternoon since it's not around the next corner. If she gets it, she'll have to take public transport for commuting, but for the interview I'm happy to drive her. :)

Good luck to your daughter, Chrissi!
I hope she won't be commutin' 4 hours a day... ;D

Um, I know what they are, but how, exactly, are they prepared? ???
Geez, if I knew about your brother, I completely forgot about his passing. Yes, the first holiday afterward can be bittersweet, if not downright difficult. I know. Back in '95 we lost my mother four weeks before Christmas. :(

You're German and you don't like something in the cabbage family? :o I'm shocked!
