We Have A Lot To Be Thankful For . . .

In the interest of law school efficiency (if you're a law student, you'd find that funny or at least mildly amusing), we had our Thanksgiving meal on Friday and it was nothing if not interesting.

It actually all started a few days ago when we noticed the fridge was leaking. So we talked to the manager and he finally sent someone up to fix it on Friday. Then, this afternoon, the turkey cooked a lot faster than we anticipated and, as a result, we were behind on the mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy. As we were cooking the gravy, we noticed a small problem, the fridge didn't seem to be working. We're talking about a week or two worth of leftovers in the fridge and the soonest the manager said they could get to it was Monday.

The middle of preparing a tasty Thanksgiving meal is not the best time to realize that your fridge isn't working. We postponed the gravy and went down to talk to the manager who eventually agreed to swap our fridge for another. Of course, that meant cleaning out our fridge and postponing dinner even longer while we waited for the new fridge. In the meantime, we're heating up rolls in the microwave and sneaking on mashed potatoes trying to hold off on dinner. Finally, we reached the point where we couldn't wait any longer and we started the green beans and gravy. In the middle of the gravy, of course, the fridge arrived.


Between restocking the new fridge and making gravy, we managed to finish up the meal and eventually got to sit down for a tasty Thanksgiving meal. Of course, by the time we sat down to eat we were exhausted and stayed pretty much catatonic until the Husker game started.



Speaking of the Husker game, I have plenty to be thankful for, but thank God I'm not a Buff's fan. How'd that taste Colorado?
