Year 2, Catchup Post 2: Electric Boogaloo

Hi again, penguinians!  I have one more massive update to get you all caught up on the adventure!

Nov 8: Nothing magical happened, but I did draw Batman, for some reason:

Nov 9: I made classic Italian turkey meatballs from scratch.  I usually like to write out the recipe here, including any changes I made, but in this case I just used Giada's recipe, so I feel that I should just link it.  You can find it here.  It turns out that a full meal for us is about four meatballs each; this recipe made about thirty... 

So NEXT TIME, you have to come over and help us eat!!

Nov 15: We went to another Kings game, and we helped set a Guinness World Record for indoor noise!  Seriously!  Also, Kris's dad Ron is a very funny dude.  And we won tacos!

Nov 24: We all got together to celebrate Kris's birthday with Jennifer Lawrence and the Hunger Games, Il Fornaio for dinner, and a painting of the Eiffel Tower by yours truly.  I had fun doing this, and it's lit a spark in me to explore this kind of thing more often.  We had a wonderful time with the fam!

Nov 28: And then, finally, it was Thanksgiving.  We brought the Honey-Baked Ham (we're still eating it... it's so good!), and the fam provided the turkey and stuffing and potatoes and gravy and all the happy good things.  We played Pictionary and (oh god) Cards Against Humanity.  For the record, I do not recommend playing this with your girlfriend's parents.  Or, you know, people.  Jeepers.

I only have one picture from the day.  Normally, I don't post pictures of people if I feel they're going to be embarrassing, but in this case, Melanie took the picture of herself, and really has no one else to blame...

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Tomorrow, ADVENTURE!! :)
