A veritable plethora of scribbled tsatskes

Friday, November 28
'Tis post Thanksgiving day. I slept. And slept. And slept. Wondeful to do so, although now I think I have OVERSLEPT. Yesterday's festivities was a quadruple celebration - combination Thanksgiving, house blessing and two birthday parties rolled into one with about 15 children and twice as many adults. At least. In good Filipino tradition, there was not a turkey to be had. Instead, we had the Traditional Thanksgiving Lechon (roast whole pig). However, the national meat of the Philippines was not solely represented as a roast. Indeed, we had a spiral cut ham, pork BBQ (on the stick...my personal fave) and, in dinuguan (or as I like to call it, Klingon Blood Stew). We ate, we blessed, we ate some more, we birthday caked, and then ate some more. Then night fell and with it the temperature fell. So the drinking and the karaoke began. And so ushers in yet another holiday season in my little corner of subvervia.
