Austin Style Thanksgiving!

Katie escaped Snowpacalypse Seattle 2010 to visit for the weekend in Austin.

Thanksgiving in Austin is not different from Thanksgiving most other places, save for a few things:

Eating on the porch. Outside.
I'm trying to think if I've ever spent a Thanksgiving away from the family, and I'm pretty sure I haven't. Anyway, I put together a small potluck for the few people that stuck around. I made korean tacos and The Thanksgiving, which is simply cranberry simple syrup and sparkling white wine (if you've seen Wayne's World recently, you'll know what I didn't say champagne). We also had mac and cheese, apple pie, squash soup, corn pudding and some potato wedges that cause a small fire in the oven (it's all good).

Football! Ok, that's normal Thanksgiving stuff, but...

A cow on the field is NOT.

I was right about the bad signs at the hexing rally, UT failed! No bowl for the Longhorns. Still, it was a fun game. I was high-fived by The World's Hardest High Fiver after the first touchdown, so minus the minor injury, the fans were jovial rather than scary. Katie and I learned all the chants and sign language that go with the game and got into it as well as we could considering it was 40 degrees out.

Tacos! This has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, but Katie loves her Torchy's.

This is the last week of classes and I'm hanging on by a thread! So, back to work!
