San Diego Thankgiving 2011 = Great success. I love my friends.
We ate, we drank, we watched Friends, we watched football, and we ate some more.
And I can’t to do this all again in a few days!
I decided to live tweet the cooking of Thanksgiving dinner because I’m cool like that.
The turkey is in the oven….
T-minus ~8 hours until San Diego Thanksgiving.
Happy birthday to me!
My family surprised me with my own cake - my first ever on thanksgiving! Normally they just stick some candles in the pie.
I also got some amaaazing presents from my fam, including a pearl bracelet to round out my set.
The first birthday celebration! I can’t believe I turn 21 in less than a week!
Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving!
Going home for Thanksgiving! Free wifi! (Taken with instagram at San Diego International Airport (SAN) ✈)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
For the 3rd year in a row, we held a thanksgiving for our friends but this year was exciting cause I got to cook the turkey!
There was 12 of us, so it was a big task but we had a great spread. Morgan and I came up with a timeline this morning while prepping the turkey and stuck to it, which is weird. Started at 9am, ate at 3:15. Woo!
We ate:
-A 12lb turkey, cooked to absolute perfection - I’m shocked at how tender and juicy it was! Everyone freaks about drying out the turkey but I nailed it. I cooked it for 4.5 hours exactly and it was so yummy. Thanks Barefoot Contessa!
-15 lbs of my famous mashed potatoes - okay we didn’t eat all 15lbs (almost all of it though). But I had boiled so many potatoes that Morgan had to go buy me a bigger pot while cooking!
-Cream of mushroom gravy
-Stuffing with sausage, apples, and celery. Mmmm
-Cranberry pomegranate sauce - homemade by Amanda. Fucking delicious
-Green beans with lemon and lots of butter :]
-Corn chowder - as a not so healthy appetizer
-Biscuitsssss
-Pecan pie, Razzleberry pie (the only non-homemade things)
The three of us tagged teamed Thanksgiving and fucking knocked it out of the park! Such a fun day
And we get to do it all over again on Thursday!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
I’m thankful for:
-My parents, my brother, my cousin Amir, my cousin Kian, and everyone in my crazy Persian family.
-Amanda, Emma, Paul, and all my friends down in San Diego that keep me sane.
-Football on Thanksgiving. And in general.
-California for being 72 and sunny in November.
-This quarter being so close to ending.
-Life.
<3 Have a happy day everyone!
